SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,703 California Middle Schools

Better than 18% of California middle schools

Summary

Elizabeth Terronez Middle serves 659 students in grades 6–8 in Fresno and is part of Fresno Unified. In 2025–2026, 30% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 18% in math and 15% in science. The most important finding is that the school was below both state and district proficiency rates in all three subjects.

ELA is the school’s strongest comparison with the state, while science is its weakest: ELA proficiency was 19 percentage points below the state, compared with 20 points for math and 21 for science. Against the district, the gaps were 10 points in ELA, 12 in math and 9 in science. Locally, results are closer to the middle than the top or bottom: the school ranked fifth of 10 nearby schools in ELA and math, and sixth in science. The comparison includes a high-scoring outlier, Edison Computech. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 17.3 in 2024–2025, the second-lowest in the group; only West Fresno Middle was lower, at 16.3.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023: ELA increased 7 percentage points, math 6 and science 3. ELA’s gap with the state narrowed from 23 to 19 points, while science’s widened from 19 to 21 points; math’s gap widened slightly in the latest year. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 40% in 2021–2022 to 28% in 2025–2026, but remained 9 points above the state rate. For context, SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 18th percentile statewide and gives it one star for 2025–2026; the district ranks at the 34th percentile. In 2024–2025, 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner Students fell sharply, from the 72nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 17th in 2023–2024. Its ranking for how well it serves Special Education Students rose from the 7th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 24th in 2025–2026, while the school’s overall percentile shifted from 17 to 18.
