Central East High

Central East High sits in the growing west Fresno area, serving a diverse community where many families are putting down roots in newer subdivisions while still navigating the challenges that come with a rapidly developing part of the city. Academics here are a work in progress — scores in English, math, and science all fall in the lower quarter statewide — but families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their student's education may find opportunities to get involved and advocate for more. It's the kind of school that could be a solid fit for families committed to being active participants in their child's high school experience rather than stepping back and letting the institution carry the load.
