Summary

Bullard Talent is a large, high-performing K-8 elementary school serving 744 students in the Fresno Unified School District, standing out as a consistent academic leader in its area.

The school's success is clear in its strong test scores, which are significantly higher than both the district and state averages in English, math, and especially science. Perhaps its most remarkable strength is student attendance; with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.5%, it is less than half the state average and a fraction of the rate at most nearby schools like Malloch Elementary or Roeding Elementary. This creates a stable environment for learning and is a key reason it outperforms its closest neighbor, Wawona K-8, by a wide margin.

Bullard Talent is particularly effective in supporting its Hispanic, low-income, and male students, with performance rankings for these groups in the 75th to 83rd percentiles statewide. It achieves these strong outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than several nearby schools with lower results. While it shares the K-8 model with Wawona K-8, its more direct academic competitor is Gibson Elementary, though Bullard Talent maintains an edge in both test scores and attendance.

My daughter had a bad experience with discrimination. She was socially and emotionally distraught by the toxic environment while the educators made excuses instead of finding solutions. Close Quote
