Summary:
Kerman Unified has one middle school in this list: Kerman Middle, serving grades 7–8 with 810 students. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades proficiency was 34% in English language arts (ELA), 21% in math and 15% in science, below state figures of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. The largest state gap was in science: 21 percentage points, compared with 17 points in math and 15 in ELA.
Kerman Middle is both the highest and lowest school in this one-school list, so there are no local school-to-school standouts to compare. Its grade-specific results were also below the state: grade 7 was 13 points behind in ELA and 12 in math, while grade 8 was 19 points behind in both ELA and math and 21 points behind in science. Chronic absenteeism was a more favorable comparison: 17.1% at the school, versus 17.4% districtwide and 18.3% statewide. With only one school represented, the list cannot show differences among local middle schools.
Scores improved in ELA and science but fell in math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: school ELA rose 0.4 points and science 2.8 points, while math fell 1 point. State results rose in all three subjects—0.5 points in ELA, 1 point in math and 3.3 points in science—so the school moved farther below the state in each subject. SchoolDigger ranked the school 2,009th of 2,703 schools, in the 26th percentile with one star in 2025–2026, down from the 41st percentile and two stars in 2023–2024. As context, 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 22.4.
