Clovis Unified School District

Clovis Unified serves 43,291 students across 50 schools in California's Central Valley, making it one of the larger districts in the state. With 48 of those schools ranked, the district earns an average score of 6.4 out of 10 — a baseline that several of its campuses clear by a significant margin. Parents shopping for a high-performing public school option will find a district with consistent results across both its elementary and high school levels.

The top performer is Clovis West High, scoring 8.4 out of 10 and leading the district by a clear edge over its peers. Clovis High and Clovis North High each score 8.1, giving the district three strong high school options clustered near the top of its rankings. That concentration of well-rated secondary schools is notable — families with middle schoolers have multiple credible destinations rather than a single flagship to compete for.

Elementary performance tracks closely with the secondary results. Miramonte Elementary scores 8.2 out of 10, and Copper Hills Elementary matches the high schools at 8.1. Both land well above the district's 6.4 average, signaling that strong academic preparation starts early in select Clovis schools. Parents with younger children should compare feeder patterns carefully, since the gap between the district average and these top elementaries is wide enough to matter.

Across all levels, Clovis Unified's rated schools average 6.4 out of 10 — respectable for a district this size, though the spread between top and middle performers is real. The district's strength is in its highs: five schools score 8.1 or above, and that cluster gives families with the right address or enrollment options genuine access to above-average campuses. For parents comparing districts in the Fresno metro area, Clovis Unified's combination of scale, a deep bench of ranked schools, and standout performers at both the elementary and high school levels puts it in a strong position relative to comparable California districts.
