Summary

The Phillip J Patino School of Entrepreneurship is a small public high school (grades 9-12) serving 282 students within the Fresno Unified district, and it stands out for achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate for five straight years despite serving a student body where 84% are economically disadvantaged.

This school truly excels in keeping students on track to graduate, with a 0% dropout rate that far surpasses nearby large high schools like McLane High (4.6%) and Fresno High (6.9%). Students are also notably strong in English Language Arts, scoring nearly 70% proficient—almost double the district average. The specialized entrepreneurship focus and smaller size likely contribute to this success, offering more personalized attention. However, the school faces a significant challenge in mathematics proficiency, where scores lag behind the state average, a common issue among many schools in the area except for high-performing charters like Design Science Middle College High.

While chronic absenteeism is a concern, Patino's rate is better than most comprehensive high schools in Fresno Unified. The school invests more per student than its peers, which appears to support strong outcomes. When compared to other similarly sized schools, such as Career Technical Education Charter, Patino shows a unique strength in graduation and English but has room for growth in core academic subjects like math and science.
