Summary

Kermit King Elementary enrolls 507 students in grades K–6 in Paso Robles and is part of Paso Robles Joint Unified; it is one of the larger nearby schools, second in enrollment only to Georgia Brown Dual Immersion. Its most important distinction is strong overall proficiency, especially in science: 58% of students were proficient in 2025–26, 22 percentage points above the state.

Results exceed state, district, and same-district peer averages in all three subjects. ELA proficiency was 56%, compared with 49% statewide, 43% in the district, and 35% across the five same-district K–6 peers; math was 44%, versus 38%, 30%, and 28%, respectively. Science was 58%, versus 36% statewide, 38% in the district, and 28% for those peers. Kermit King led its peers in math and science and ranked second in ELA. Results vary by grade, however: third-grade ELA was 41% versus 44% statewide, and third-grade math was 41% versus 47%. Fifth and sixth grades were stronger, with fifth-grade ELA at 62% and sixth-grade ELA at 62%, each about 13–14 points above the state.

Scores remain above state averages, but the margins have narrowed: math proficiency fell from 55% in 2022–23 to 44% in 2025–26, and its advantage over the state shrank from 21 points to 6; ELA fell from 60% to 56%, with its state advantage narrowing from 13 points to 6. SchoolDigger places the school at the 70th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26, the highest current percentile among nearby ranked schools, though down from its 80th-percentile result in 2022–23. Its subgroup rankings are lower: SchoolDigger places the school’s effectiveness for Hispanic students at the 55th percentile and for White students at the 47th, versus the schoolwide 70th percentile. In 2024–25, 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 26.8, above the nearby-school average of 22.8. Chronic absenteeism rose to 21% in 2025–26, about level with the district and above the state’s 18%.
