Summary:

The Kerman Unified school district serves the city of Kerman, California, with nine public schools educating roughly 4,800 students from elementary through high school, all operating within a community characterized by high economic need.

Parents will find a mix of performance across the district. Liberty Elementary stands out as the top academic performer, exceeding state averages in math and science, while Kerman High shows strong outcomes with a graduation rate over 95% and a very low dropout rate. In contrast, Kerman Middle is a notable area for improvement, as its test scores represent a significant dip from the elementary level, and the alternative Kerman Unified Online school faces severe academic challenges.

Key takeaways include a district-wide struggle with mathematics proficiency and a strong link between attendance and success; schools with lower chronic absenteeism, like Harvest Elementary and Kerman-Floyd Elementary, tend to perform better. The district also shows a stark high school dichotomy, with the much smaller Enterprise High dealing with very high absenteeism and low test scores compared to the comprehensive high school.
