Summary:
ZIP code 93702 has one listed middle school, Sequoia Middle, serving grades 7–8 and enrolling 829 students. With no other middle schools in the list, there is no meaningful local school-to-school comparison. In 2025–2026, Sequoia’s all-grades proficiency was 33% in English language arts, 22% in math, and 13% in science. The most important finding is that science is the school’s largest gap from the state: 23 percentage points below California, compared with 16 points below in both ELA and math.
Sequoia Middle is technically both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this ZIP code because it is the only one listed, so that distinction does not identify a useful local standout. Within the school, ELA is the strongest of the three reported subjects: its 33% proficiency rate is 11 points above math and 20 points above science. Still, results are below both the state and Fresno Unified in every subject. Sequoia trails the district by 7 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 10 in science; its state gaps are widest in science.
Results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in all three subjects, but science did not keep pace with the benchmarks: Sequoia gained 4 points in ELA and 3 in math, narrowing its state gaps by 3 and 2 points, while its science score rose by 1 point and its state gap widened by 3 points. SchoolDigger ranks Sequoia 2,048th of 2,703 statewide, in the 24th percentile with 1 star; its percentile was 22nd in 2024–2025 and 26th in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism is also higher than the comparison rates: 33%, versus 27% in Fresno Unified and 18% statewide. For context, 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 18.9; these are observations, not explanations of the results.
