Summary

Kings Lake Education Center is a small high school in Corcoran, serving 16 students in grades 10–12 within Corcoran Joint Unified. Attendance and completion are also concerns: in 2025–2026, 62% of students were chronically absent and the graduation rate was 70%, compared with 18% and 88% statewide and 20% and 96% in the district. The most important finding is that proficiency is weak across all tested subjects: 16% in English language arts (ELA) and 0% in both math and science.

ELA is Kings Lake’s strongest tested subject, but it remains well below district and state results: 16% proficient, compared with 35% in the district and 49% statewide. In math and science, Kings Lake’s 0% results are also below the district’s 20% and 27%, and the state’s 38% and 36%. Among nearby schools with reported results, Kings Lake’s ELA result is higher only than Tulare Technical Preparatory High (9%); its math result ties for the lowest with Sierra Vista Charter High and Tulare Technical, while its science result ties for the lowest with Tulare Technical.

ELA has improved from 0% in 2022–2023 to 16% in 2025–2026, a gain of 16 percentage points, while math was 0% at both endpoints and science remained at 0% in all three reported years. Graduation rose 17 points over that period and chronic absenteeism fell 14 points, though both remain concerning. SchoolDigger ranked Kings Lake in the 5th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with zero stars (2,034 of 2,137 schools); its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 8.1, the lowest among the listed nearby schools with reported ratios. The school reports that 81% of students were directly certified for free meals in 2024–2025; nearby schools report free/reduced lunch eligibility instead, so those figures are not directly comparable.
