How Crescent View South Ii compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Crescent View South Ii
Crescent View South Ii is a high-poverty, large charter combined-grade school in Fresno, California, enrolling 1,260 students.
Class loads run heavy: 28.6:1 is larger than about 94% of California schools and 33% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 80.9% of students eligible for free meals.
By headcount it is one of the larger campuses in California, bigger than 92% of state schools at 1,260 students.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 95% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 468 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #425, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 420 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 56.4% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Among Fresno's public schools, it stands alongside Yosemite Valley Charter (3,065 students): Crescent View South Ii is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (28.6:1 vs 36.5:1).
Crescent View South Ii District is a single-school charter district, so Crescent View South Ii operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
