King Elementary, Fresno CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on King Elementary

King Elementary serves students in kindergarten through sixth grade in east Fresno, in a setting shaped by the most urgent academic needs in the region. The school's recent state assessment results show proficiency rates well below the midpoint among the county's districts. In math, the school's overall proficiency sits in the bottom quartile across Fresno County, as does performance in English language arts. Science proficiency in grade five is similarly low. These results appear as isolated data points, and prior-year comparisons were not available to clarify whether this represents a stable condition or a shift.

The student body is economically disadvantaged: nearly all enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the neighborhood's economic circumstances. The majority of students are Hispanic, with a substantial share who are Black, and smaller numbers from Asian and other backgrounds. The school enrolls students across all its grade bands relatively evenly, with the full enrollment in the range typical for an elementary school its size.

The school is a regular public elementary in Fresno Unified, located at 1001 East Florence Avenue. It sits in a city that has historically grown outward through sprawl but is now pursuing downtown revitalization efforts, including new affordable housing projects and infrastructure investment. The neighborhood housing market is modest in price, reflecting the broader region's affordability relative to state and national benchmarks. Mortgage costs and rent are both relatively low in zip code 93706, which King serves.

Data on English learner enrollment, students with IEPs, chronic absenteeism, and school discipline were not available. State testing results are reported only for grades three through six, so proficiency in kindergarten through grade two is not publicly measured. The school's own programs, staffing, and support offerings could not be confirmed from the available data. A parent interested in understanding what academic supports, interventions, or additional services King Elementary offers in response to these proficiency levels may want to look into this further directly with the school.

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.
