Summary:
Two high schools are listed in zip code 93711: Florence E. Rata serves grades 9–12 and STRIVE Academy serves grades 7–12, with 35 and 9 students enrolled, respectively. The clearest difference is attendance: Rata’s reported chronic absenteeism is 58%, while STRIVE’s is 0%.
Rata stands out for the highest reported chronic absenteeism, at 58% in 2025–2026—58 percentage points above STRIVE, 31 points above its district, Fresno Unified, and 40 points above the state. STRIVE has the lowest reported rate, 0%, which is 18 points below Selma Unified and 18 points below the state. Its enrollment of just 9 students is an important consideration when interpreting that figure. Academic leadership cannot be determined: STRIVE’s school test scores are state-suppressed, and no test-score rows are available for Rata.
There is no evidence here of achievement or attendance changing over time: the test-score and chronic-absenteeism figures cover only one year. For other school-choice context, Rata’s 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible share is 89%, compared with STRIVE’s 67%, a 22-point difference; student–teacher ratios are 4.2 and 8.8, respectively. SchoolDigger rates Fresno Unified 2 stars and ranks it 639th of 968 districts, while it rates Selma Unified 1 star and ranks it 726th; these are district ratings, not school rankings. District test results are below state figures in all three listed subjects, with the largest all-grades gap in science: 19% versus 36%, or 17 points, in 2025–2026; these figures describe the districts, not either school.
