Gorman Joint

The Gorman Joint area has one listed school, Gorman Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8, with 118 students. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades proficiency was 56% in English language arts (ELA), 42% in mathematics and 45% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. Its clearest advantage was in science, where it was 9 percentage points ahead; overall, it outperformed the state in all three subjects.

There is no school-to-school top or bottom in this area: Gorman Elementary is the only school listed. Its seventh-grade results were especially strong relative to state results: ELA was 81% versus 51%, and math was 56% versus 38%. But the school’s advantage does not show up in every grade and subject. Fifth-grade math was 33%, below the state’s 37%; fifth-grade ELA was 53% versus 49%, and science was 40% versus 35%.

All three all-grades subject scores rose between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. The school’s unweighted average across the three subjects increased from 46% to 48%, while the state average rose from 40% to 41%, leaving the school’s overall lead at about 7 percentage points. SchoolDigger gives Gorman Elementary three stars and ranks it 2,257 of 5,804 schools, in the 61st percentile; its percentile fell 8 points from the previous year’s 69, despite the recent improvement in all three subject scores. The reported student–teacher ratio was 29.7 in 2024–2025, and 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These figures offer context, but with only one school, families cannot compare school characteristics or results across schools in the area.
