Elementary Schools in Kerman Unified

Summary:

This analysis examines the five K-6 elementary schools within the Kerman Unified school district, a district serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged community and ranking in the 34th percentile statewide.

Among these schools, Liberty Elementary stands out as the highest performer, earning a 3-star rating and achieving the best test scores in English, math, and science, with its science proficiency notably exceeding the state average. In contrast, Kerman-Floyd Elementary has the lowest statewide ranking and proficiency rates, particularly in science, despite having the highest per-student spending in the group. The other schools—Goldenrod Elementary, Harvest Elementary, and Sun Empire Elementary—have 2-star ratings with performance generally below state averages, though Sun Empire shows a strength in 4th-grade math.

Key takeaways include that all district schools have lower chronic absenteeism than the state average, which is a positive. However, the district as a whole struggles most with science scores. The performance gap between schools like Liberty and Kerman-Floyd is significant, suggesting that factors beyond funding and class size, such as teaching methods or curriculum focus, heavily influence student outcomes.
