Summary:
This analysis covers 12 public schools in Fresno's 93702 zip code, all part of the Fresno Unified district, serving grades K-12 in a community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among elementary schools, Vang Pao Elementary and Ann B. Leavenworth stand out with the highest academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism, while Miguel Hidalgo Elementary faces the greatest challenges. The single middle school, Sequoia Middle, shows lower proficiency rates than the top elementary schools, indicating a difficult transition for students.
At the high school level, Roosevelt High is the stronger traditional option with a graduation rate above state averages, while the alternative Farber School of Independent Studies and Online and Farber School of Credit Attainment serve struggling students with much lower outcomes, particularly in mathematics where all high schools perform far below state averages.
