Summary

John S. Wash Elementary serves 838 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Fresno, within Sanger Unified; it enrolls more students than any of the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. Its 2025–2026 results are above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science, and math is its clearest academic advantage: 52% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 44% in the district.

Math is also one of the school’s strongest results locally: its 52% proficiency rate was 7 percentage points above the nearby-school average, ranking third among the 11 schools compared. ELA was 58%, 8 points above the state and 2 above the district; science was 40%, 4 points above the state but just 1 point above the district. Results differ by grade: third-grade math was a standout at 72%, the highest nearby and 4 points above the next-highest school. Sixth-grade ELA was a softer spot: 52%, 4 points below the district and below eight of the 10 nearby schools. Sixth-grade math was essentially level with the district and 7 points above the state.

Over the four years from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA and math each gained about 2 percentage points, while science rose 8 points; all three subjects fluctuated, and science rebounded by 13 points in the latest year after falling below the state the year before. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 74th percentile statewide and gives it 4 stars for 2025–2026; the district ranks in the 70th percentile and has 3 stars. Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism was 6%, the lowest among nearby schools, versus 13% in the district and 18% statewide. Context for families includes a student-teacher ratio of 23.3 in school year 2024–2025 and 60% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing for serving Asian students was notably lower than the overall standing: 20th percentile versus 74th. Its standing for serving students receiving special education fell from the 75th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 43rd in 2024–2025; no figure was provided for 2025–2026.
