Summary:
ZIP code 93630 has one middle school, Kerman Middle, serving grades 7–8 and enrolling 810 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades results were below statewide scores in every tested subject: 34% in English language arts (ELA), 21% in math and 15% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. The most important finding is that the largest shortfall was in science, where the school was 21 percentage points below California.
Kerman Middle is both the only school in the area and its sole listed performer, so there is no local top-or-bottom comparison. Compared with the state, it was 15 points lower in ELA and 17 points lower in math, as well as 21 points lower in science. Grade-level results show that students in both grades 7 and 8 were just above Kerman Unified in ELA and math, but remained below state results: by 13 and 12 points in grade 7, and by 19 points in both subjects in grade 8. Grade 8 science was also 21 points below the state.
Scores improved in ELA and science but fell in math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose by less than 1 percentage point, science by 3 points, and math declined by 1 point. Because state results also rose, the school’s gaps widened by 2 points in math and 1 point in science, while the ELA gap widened by less than 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking fell from 41st in 2023–2024 to 26th in 2025–2026, and its rating moved from 2 stars to 1 star. Context measures include 89% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025 and a 22.4 student–teacher ratio that year; these figures describe the school but do not explain its test results.
