Kerman Unified

Summary:

The Kerman Unified school district serves over 5,200 students across nine schools, including five elementary schools, one middle school, two high schools, and one online K-12 school, in a predominantly high-needs area.

Performance varies significantly across schools. Among elementary schools, Liberty Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked, while Kerman High is a district leader with a strong graduation rate and above-state-average English scores. In contrast, Enterprise High and Kerman Unified Online face substantial challenges, including very low test proficiency and, for Enterprise, a high dropout rate.

The data reveals key patterns: a notable drop in test scores at Kerman Middle compared to elementary schools, and a striking difference between the two high schools, with the smaller Enterprise High receiving the most funding per student but having the weakest outcomes, suggesting it may serve a distinct student population. Despite the challenges common to high-poverty districts, the district's overall graduation rate exceeds the state average.
