Summary

Ezekiel Balderas Elementary is a Fresno Unified school in Fresno, serving 615 students in kindergarten through grade 6. Its latest results show a mixed picture: math is slightly above the state proficiency rate, ELA is below it, and science is a clear outlier. The most important concern is science, where the school had the lowest result among the 10 nearby schools.

Compared with nearby schools and the district, Balderas is relatively strong in ELA and math but weak in science. In 2025–26, 44% of students were proficient in ELA, about 5 points above the Fresno Unified rate and 5 points below the state; the nearby-school average was 40%, and Balderas ranked fourth among the 11 schools. Math proficiency was 39%—9 points above the district, 1 point above the state, and higher than the nearby average of 34%. In science, only 12% were proficient, compared with 24% in the district and 36% statewide; all nearby schools scored higher. Grade 5 is a particular weak spot: proficiency was 31% in ELA and 27% in math, while grade 4 math was a brighter point at 50%.

ELA and math have improved substantially since 2022–23: ELA rose by 15 points to 44%, and math by 13 points to 39%. Science, by contrast, fell to 12% after reaching 26% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger ranks Balderas at the 49th percentile statewide, with 2 stars, up from the 28th percentile and 1 star in 2023–24; its standing is around the middle of the nearby group. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 18.9, slightly below the nearby average of 19.35. In 2024–25, 90% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 92%; California is identified as a statewide-free-meals state, so this is an eligibility measure, not the share receiving free meals. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notably low standing for Asian students, at the 13th percentile in 2025–26 versus 49th overall. Its Hispanic-student ranking rose from the 27th percentile in 2023–24 to the 60th in 2025–26, above the school’s overall 49th percentile.
