An overview of Fresno public schools
The federal directory lists 190 public schools in Fresno, CA: 117 elementary, 22 middle, 36 high, 15 combined or other. The 184 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 119,839 students, an average of 651 per school. The largest campus is Yosemite Valley Charter (3,065 students), and the largest elementary school is Harvest Elementary (1,010).
Fresno Unified operates the most schools here (101), and 12 regular districts have at least one Fresno campus, plus 19 charter, service, or other agencies. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 19.8:1, lower than the statewide school median of 21.6:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
School choice options include 20 charter schools, 20 magnet schools, 2 virtual schools. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.
Among 44 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 19 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 23 of 45 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.
About 78% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
