Summary:

ZIP code 93706 has three middle schools: Rutherford B. Gaston Senior Middle and Edison Computech serve grades 7–8, while West Fresno Middle serves grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, Edison scored above the state in English, math and science; Gaston and West Fresno scored below the state in all three. The most important finding is the sharp divide between Edison and the other two schools.

Edison Computech stands out at the top, with 93% proficiency in English, 75% in math and 70% in science—leading the next-highest school by 67, 60 and 58 percentage points, respectively. It was also above state results by 43 points in English, 37 in math and 34 in science. Gaston was lowest in each subject, at 12% in English, 11% in math and 5% in science; West Fresno fell between the two, at 26%, 16% and 13%. Both were below state results in every subject, but West Fresno scored higher than Gaston throughout.

Across the three schools, average proficiency rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 3 percentage points in English, 4 in math and 4 in science, although progress varied: Edison improved in all subjects, while West Fresno’s science score fell by 2 points and Gaston’s English score fell by 1. SchoolDigger ranked Edison 39th of 2,703 schools, in the 99th percentile, in 2025–2026. It also had the lowest chronic absenteeism, at 6%, compared with West Fresno’s 11% and Gaston’s 36%. The schools’ student-teacher ratios were 23.1 at Edison, 16.3 at West Fresno and 17.5 at Gaston, so a lower ratio did not correspond to higher scores in this group. All reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures are for 2024–2025: 71% at Edison, 94% at West Fresno and 96% at Gaston; these figures are context, not an explanation for results. Because West Fresno serves a wider grade span, all-grades comparisons are not perfectly matched.
