Summary:
The 93721 zip code area in Fresno, California is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 public charter elementary school, 1 public charter high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a range of academic performance and student needs across these institutions, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
Kepler Neighborhood School, a public charter elementary school, stands out with relatively strong academic performance, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages. In contrast, School of Unlimited Learning, a public charter high school, struggles with a lower graduation rate and higher dropout rate than state averages, despite some academic strengths in 11th grade English Language Arts. The alternative Fresno County Special Education school serves a population with significant challenges, as evidenced by its low graduation rate, high chronic absenteeism, and low test scores.
Across all three schools, high percentages of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the schools serve economically disadvantaged communities. The differences in student-teacher ratios, ranging from 8:1 at Fresno County Special Education to 21:1 at Kepler Neighborhood, may also be a factor in the schools' performance. Overall, this analysis highlights the importance of considering the unique needs and contexts of each school when evaluating their performance, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
