Summary

Kermit King Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 507 students in the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District, consistently ranking as one of the stronger elementary schools in its region.

The school stands out for its academic performance, significantly outperforming both its district and state averages in English, math, and science. It maintains a stable 4-star rating, while other district schools like Virginia Peterson Elementary, Pat Butler Elementary, and Glen Speck Elementary typically have lower 2-star ratings. Kermit King achieves these strong results while serving a student population with significant economic need and does so with more efficient per-student spending than several lower-performing neighboring schools.

Notably, the school shows particular strength in preparing students in the upper grades for middle school and has been effective in managing chronic absenteeism. While recent data shows a slight dip in scores and rankings, its performance remains well above local peers, including the nearby Almond Acres Charter Academy. This makes Kermit King a notable success story within its district context.
