Summary

Phoenix Secondary is a small Fresno Unified school in Fresno, California, serving 53 students in grades 7–12. In 2025–26, just 4% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 0% in math and 4% in science, while chronic absenteeism was 78%. The most important concern is the combination of very low proficiency across all three subjects and exceptionally high absenteeism.

Science is Phoenix’s strongest subject relative to district and state results, but it still trails them by 20 and 32 percentage points, respectively: Phoenix had 4% proficiency, compared with 24% in Fresno Unified and 36% statewide. ELA has the widest gaps: 4% at Phoenix versus 40% districtwide and 49% statewide, differences of 35 and 45 points. Math is the lowest result, at 0%, compared with 29% in the district and 38% statewide. Among nearby schools, Phoenix had the second-lowest ELA result, after Violet Heintz Education Academy at 0%; its math result tied Violet Heintz for lowest, and its science result was third-lowest, above Violet Heintz’s 0% and Farber School of Credit Attainment’s 2%. Phoenix’s absenteeism also matched Farber’s 78%, the highest reported nearby rate, and exceeded district and state rates by 51 and 60 points.

Results have not caught up with broader gains: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, Phoenix’s ELA rose by 3 percentage points and science by 4, while math stayed at 0%; its gap with the state was essentially unchanged in ELA and widened by 4 points in math and 2 in science. Phoenix’s chronic absenteeism remained between 76.8% and 79.6% over the five years reported. Context includes a 2024–25 student–teacher ratio of 3.1, far below nearby schools’ 11.6–25.6 range, and 81% directly certified for free meals; the data says Phoenix likely serves all students free meals through Community Eligibility. Its most recent SchoolDigger ranking is old: 12th percentile and 1 star in 2012–13. Nearby test comparisons are not fully like-for-like because most schools serve grades 9–12, and Phoenix has no current SchoolDigger ranking supplied for comparison.
