Easterby Elementary, Fresno CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Easterby Elementary

Easterby Elementary is a regular public school serving kindergarten through sixth grade in Fresno, located in the eastern part of the city. The school has an enrollment that spans the full K-6 range, with a student body that is majority Hispanic and Asian, and a substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic circumstances of the surrounding neighborhood.

State assessment results from the most recent year show proficiency rates that cluster in the mid-range. In English language arts, the school's overall proficiency rate across tested grades sits at about one-third. Math performance is somewhat stronger, with an overall rate in the low-to-mid forties, though results vary notably by grade. Third and fourth graders showed proficiency rates in the fifties in math, while fifth and sixth graders dropped to about one-third, a pattern that suggests a steeper academic progression in the upper elementary grades. In science, fifth grade proficiency sits well below the school's other subjects, in the low teens. Reading the data together, Easterby's students are performing below the state average, and the dropoff in math and science performance at the higher grades is a real pattern worth understanding in more depth if your child will be attending.

Among elementary schools in Fresno County, Easterby's overall proficiency index ranks in the top quartile, a reflection of how outcomes across the county's schools distribute rather than a statement about absolute performance. The school sits above the median for its county, but many California elementary schools perform at higher levels.

The neighborhood context around the school is largely residential. Fresno itself is the Central Valley's largest city, built primarily as low-density subdivisions and car-dependent neighborhoods, though downtown and a handful of central areas including the Tower District and the Mural District have walkable character and community anchors. The city's economy ties historically to agriculture, though government and services now employ the largest share of the regional workforce. Home prices in the 93727 zip code where the school sits are moderate by state standards, and rents are affordable relative to median household income in the area. The city has been moving in recent years toward downtown revitalization efforts, with state funding for housing and infrastructure, though these remain concentrated in the center rather than in eastern neighborhoods where this school is located.

No data was available on the school's special education identification rates, English learner population, chronic absenteeism, or discipline practices, so a parent may want to reach out to the school directly to understand those dimensions of the environment. The school does not serve high school grades, so graduation rates do not apply. Academic trend data spanning multiple years was not available, so it's not clear whether the current proficiency levels represent improvement, decline, or stability from prior years.

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.
