Summary

Yosemite Middle is a public school for grades 7 and 8 in Fresno, CA, serving about 613 students within the larger Fresno Unified district, which faces significant educational challenges across many of its schools.

Academically, the school is struggling, with fewer than one in four students proficient in English and even lower rates in math and science, placing it in the bottom tier of California middle schools. While its chronic absenteeism rate is high, it is actually managed slightly better than at some nearby schools like Fort Miller Middle and Rutherford B. Gaston Senior Middle. An important point of comparison is Edison Computech, another district school that achieves exceptional academic results with a similar student population, demonstrating that high achievement is possible in the area.

The school shows some relative strengths, such as its work with English Language Learners and certain Spanish language skills, but it faces a severe challenge in science education and in serving students with special needs. Like most other middle schools in Fresno Unified, including Tioga Middle and Scandinavian Middle, Yosemite Middle has historically had low test scores, indicating a need for district-wide strategies and targeted improvements to help students recover from persistent learning gaps.
