Summary

Kerman High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 1,500 students in the Kerman Unified district, standing out for its exceptional ability to support students toward graduation despite significant economic challenges in the community.

The school's greatest strength is its success in keeping students engaged and on track, boasting a 95.5% graduation rate and a remarkably low 0.9% dropout rate, both far better than state averages. It has also made impressive strides in improving student attendance. Academically, the school excels in English Language Arts, where student proficiency significantly outpaces both the district and state. However, math scores are an area identified for growth, as they currently lag behind state averages. The school achieves these solid outcomes while spending its resources efficiently compared to some alternatives.

When compared to nearby schools, Kerman High generally performs very well. It dramatically outperforms another high school in its own district, Enterprise High, in every key metric and ranks higher than several other area schools like Tranquillity High and Central East High. A notable nearby comparison is Justin Garza High, which shows similar performance, though it serves a student population with fewer economic needs.
