Summary:
The 93701 zip code area of Fresno, California is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area generally underperform compared to the Fresno Unified School District and California state averages, two elementary schools stand out as high-performing exceptions.
Akira Yokomi Elementary and Jefferson Elementary consistently outperform their peers on English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state. In contrast, Tehipite Middle School struggles, with only 20-25% of students meeting or exceeding standards in English Language Arts and less than 10% in Mathematics.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across the schools, ranging from 30.7% at Akira Yokomi Elementary to 46.6% at Tehipite Middle School. Additionally, all the schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios suggest the schools have the potential to provide more individualized attention and support, which could help improve academic performance in the lower-performing schools.
