Freedom Elementary, Clovis CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Freedom Elementary

Freedom Elementary serves kindergarten through sixth grade in Clovis, a mid-sized, family-oriented city in eastern Fresno County that has been one of California's faster-growing communities. The school sits within Clovis Unified, which has expanded significantly over the past decade and now ranks among the state's largest districts. With the recent opening of a new high school and intermediate school complex and ongoing development like the Loma Vista urban village, the district is actively adding capacity to serve its growing enrollment.

The school's student body is diverse and mixed in income. Just over one-third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Racially and ethnically, the enrollment spans white, Hispanic, Asian, and other backgrounds roughly equally, with white and Hispanic students each representing roughly a third of the school, Asian students about a fifth, and smaller numbers of students identifying as multiracial, Black, American Indian, or Pacific Islander. Data on the proportion of English learners and students with IEPs was not available. The school enrolls roughly seven hundred students across its seven grades, with enrollment fairly consistent across grade levels.

Academic performance, measured by California state tests in English language arts, math, and science, sits in the top quartile among the county's schools overall. In English language arts across tested grades, about six out of ten students score at proficient or above. Math performance across the school averages roughly comparable, at about five to six out of ten, though it dips noticeably in sixth grade where fewer than half meet the standard. Science proficiency in fifth grade, the grade tested, comes in at roughly four out of ten. Performance is strongest in fourth grade, where math proficiency reaches two-thirds and English language arts about half. The trajectory suggests students face stronger challenges in the later elementary years, particularly in math and science. This pattern may warrant a parent conversation with the school about how the curriculum addresses the shift upward in grade levels.

The school is a regular public elementary school in a suburban, family-oriented community with a strong local identity. Clovis offers a walkable historic downtown in Old Town Clovis with local shops and restaurants, an extensive paved trail network, and a calendar of community events like the annual rodeo and farmers market. Housing in the area is moderately priced relative to California and accessible to families making median wages. Rental availability runs moderate; the market is active with new construction continuing in planned communities. Clovis Transit provides bus service throughout the city, including routes connecting to schools, shopping centers, and government offices, and connects to regional service to Fresno.

Families in the area will want to be aware of a district-wide boundary change that took effect in the 2025-26 school year, when the district rebalanced elementary school attendance zones to account for overcrowding and the new capacity added by recent construction. Parents may want to confirm Freedom Elementary's current zone with the district or verify whether their address remains in the school's attendance area, as the realignment affected multiple schools across the district.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
