Yosemite Middle

Public Grades 7-8

2241^st

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,703 California Middle Schools

Better than 17% of California middle schools

Summary

Yosemite Middle serves 613 students in grades 7–8 in Fresno Unified, in Fresno, California. In 2025–26, about 27% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 20% in math, and 14% in science. Results have improved overall, but the school’s proficiency rates remain below both district and state averages—its most important challenge.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to state and district benchmarks: its rates were about 18 percentage points below California and 10 below Fresno Unified. ELA was about 22 points below the state and 13 below the district; science was about 22 points below the state and 10 below the district. Among the 11 local schools compared, Yosemite ranked seventh in math and science proficiency and eighth in ELA. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 27%, slightly below the district’s 27%, though above California’s 18%.

From 2022–23 to 2025–26, proficiency rose by about 6 percentage points in ELA, 6 in math, and 5 in science, though science results dipped before rebounding in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranked Yosemite at the 17th percentile statewide for 2025–26, with one star; its percentile rose from 13 in 2023–24. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 18.6:1, below the nearby-school average of 19.3:1. About 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, compared with a nearby-school average of 91%; this is context, not an explanation for test results. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves students receiving special education was at the 30th percentile in 2025–26, up from the 8th percentile the year before, compared with the school’s overall 17th percentile.
