Summary:
ZIP code 93725 has one listed middle school, Elizabeth Terronez Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 659 students. Because it is the only school in the list, families cannot compare it with another middle school in the ZIP code; the useful benchmarks are Fresno Unified and California. In 2025–2026, 30% of students were proficient in ELA, 18% in math, and 15% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. The school also trailed the district by 10 percentage points in ELA, 12 in math, and 9 in science. The most important finding is that proficiency was below the state rate in all three subjects, with the largest gap in science at 21 percentage points.
There is no separate school at the top or bottom: Elizabeth Terronez is the sole school represented. Within its results, ELA was closest to the state benchmark, 19 percentage points below it, while math was 20 points below and science 21 points below. SchoolDigger gave the school 1 star and ranked it 2,206th of 2,703 schools, in the 18th percentile, in 2025–2026. Its CSA Spanish “Overall” result was also below both comparison figures: 5% at the school versus 10% statewide and 14% in Fresno Unified. These are additional indicators of performance, not comparisons with another school in the ZIP code.
Recent changes are mixed: ELA proficiency rose 5 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, narrowing the state gap by 5 points; math rose less than 1 point and science rose 2 points, while their state gaps widened by 1 point each. Eighth-grade results were stronger than seventh-grade results in ELA (35% versus 25%) and math (19% versus 17%), though those figures compare different grades, not the same students over time. Chronic absenteeism was 28% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide and 27% in Fresno Unified. As context, the school had a 17.3:1 student-teacher ratio and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures do not explain achievement results. The available data cover only one school, so they cannot show how it compares with other local schools.
