Summary

Goldenrod Elementary serves 617 students in grades K–6 in Kerman, California, as part of Kerman Unified. The clearest concern is fifth-grade math: in 2025–26, 15% of students met proficiency, compared with 37% statewide and 25% districtwide. That was the lowest fifth-grade math result among the ten nearby K–6 schools. The contrast with third grade is striking: Goldenrod’s third-grade math proficiency was 53%, above both the state’s 47% and the district’s 48%.

Across all grades, the school was below state proficiency in every subject, with the largest gap in science: 25% versus 36% statewide, an 11-point difference. It was above the district in ELA, math, and science by 1, 4, and 3 percentage points, respectively. Compared with the nine nearby K–6 schools, Goldenrod was close to the average in ELA (45% versus 46%) and science (25% versus 25%), but below it in math (34% versus 36%). It ranked sixth of the ten schools in ELA and math, and fifth in science.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–23, rising by about 6 percentage points each, but science fell by 1 point as the gap with the state widened from 4 to 11 points. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger placed Goldenrod at the 48th statewide percentile with 2 stars, compared with the district’s 40th percentile; its student-teacher ratio was 24.6 in 2024–25. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible figure was 87% in 2024–25, a contextual measure rather than an explanation of results. One notable subgroup change in SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well schools serve student groups: the English Language Learner Students ranking dropped from the 61st percentile in 2021–22 to the 46th in 2022–23 and stayed there in 2023–24, a 15-point decline.
