Summary

Kerman Middle is a public school serving about 810 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Kerman Unified district, which serves a community in California's Central Valley.

The school shows a clear strength in maintaining good student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate much lower than many nearby schools like Tenaya Middle, Fort Miller Middle, and Tehipite Middle. Academically, while test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, Kerman Middle often achieves higher proficiency rates than other schools facing similar economic challenges, and it does so while spending less per student than most comparison schools.

However, there are significant areas for concern, including a recent downward trend in its statewide ranking and a particularly large gap in science proficiency. The school also has more students per teacher than many peers. A notable comparison is with Edison Computech, a school not far away that achieves much higher test scores, demonstrating that strong academic results are possible in the region and suggesting potential pathways for improvement at Kerman Middle.
