Summary:
ZIP code 93705 has 12 schools, mostly elementary schools, alongside a middle school and schools serving broader grade spans, including grades 7–12. Results are strongest to compare among the six Fresno Unified K–6 schools with 2025–26 scores; most schools in this group report free/reduced lunch eligibility of 89%–96% for 2024–25. The main finding is that proficiency remains well below state results: the six-school averages are 30% in ELA, 26% in math and 16% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide.
Slater Elementary leads the six-school group in ELA (36%) and science (21%); its science result is 3 points above Roeding Elementary, the next highest. Homan Elementary leads in math at 30%, 2 points above Slater. At the other end, Fremont Elementary has the lowest ELA and math results, at 24% and 22%; Wilson Elementary has the lowest science result, 12%. Cooper Middle stands out separately: its all-grades ELA is 41%, 1 point above Fresno Unified but 8 points below the state.
Across the same six elementary schools, average ELA rose 2 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, math rose 1 point and science rose 3 points; the pattern varied by school, with Wilson improving in all three subjects while Homan declined in all three. SchoolDigger rankings also improved from 2023–24 to 2025–26 for Slater, from the 25th to the 34th percentile, and Wilson, from the 4th to the 20th. Student-teacher ratios range from 17.2 at Fremont to 21.1 at Roeding, while reported free/reduced lunch eligibility among the six schools ranges from 89% to 96% in 2024–25; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results. Because schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades scores are not always direct comparisons.
