Original Research by School Decision on Clovis High
Clovis High is a full-size public high school serving grades 9 through 12 in the city of Clovis, a fast-growing mid-sized community in eastern Fresno County. The school has an enrollment spanning all four grades, with a student body that is predominantly Hispanic with a substantial share of Asian, white, and other students. About half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting mixed household income levels across the school's attendance area.
The most recent state assessment data available shows performance that is mixed by subject. Students show the strongest relative performance in English language arts, where proficiency is notably above half. Mathematics proficiency is lower, sitting near or below the midpoint for high school performance. Science proficiency is the weakest of the three, well below typical benchmarks. Because only one year of data is available, it is not possible to discern whether these results represent recent change or a stable pattern. The school's four-year graduation rate was not available in the data provided, so a parent may want to look into this further with the school or the district directly.
Clovis High is part of Clovis Unified, a district experiencing rapid growth. The city itself is one of California's faster-growing areas, with new residential development concentrated in master-planned communities such as Harlan Ranch, Wawona Ranch, and Loma Vista. The district opened a major new campus called the Terry P. Bradley Educational Center in August 2025, adding new high school capacity for the first time in many years. The district also implemented an attendance boundary change in 2025-26 that affects which schools families are zoned for based on address, so a family's address assignment to Clovis High (versus Clovis West or Clovis East) depends on that updated map.
Housing in the Clovis area carries a moderate price point relative to statewide benchmarks and is rising, as is rental cost. The local economy is anchored by healthcare, education, retail, and manufacturing; Clovis Unified itself is one of the largest employers in the city. The community has a walkable historic downtown called Old Town Clovis, anchored by restored brick storefronts and a farmers market, along with an extensive trail network. Residents tend to rely on cars for daily travel, though newer neighborhoods like Loma Vista are being designed with walkability and mixed-use development in mind.
The district approved Measure A, a school facilities bond, in November 2024 that funds completion of the new high school campus and facility upgrades without raising property tax rates. Program offerings at Clovis High and specific details on Advanced Placement courses, career pathways, or other academic options were not available in the data provided. A parent interested in what coursework and specialized programs the school offers should contact the school directly or visit its website to understand the full academic menu and whether particular pathways align with a student's goals.
