How Crescent View West Public Charter compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Crescent View West Public Charter
Crescent View West Public Charter is a high-poverty, large charter combined-grade school in Fresno, California, enrolling 1,703 students.
Class loads run heavy: 30.4:1 is larger than about 96% of California schools and 41% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 87.6% of students qualify for free meals, 58% above the California average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
By headcount it is one of the larger campuses in California, bigger than 95% of state schools at 1,703 students.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 181 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #176, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 774 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Among Fresno's public schools, it stands alongside Yosemite Valley Charter (3,065 students): Crescent View West Public Charter is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (30.4:1 vs 36.5:1).
Crescent View West Public Charter District is a single-school charter district, so Crescent View West Public Charter operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
