Summary:
In zip code 93630, which serves the Kerman, CA area, there is one public middle school, Kerman Middle, serving grades 7 and 8 with an enrollment of 810 students.
This school faces significant academic challenges, performing below both its district and state averages in all core subjects, with a particularly low proficiency rate of just 12% in science. Its statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years. However, the school does have a notable strength in managing student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate lower than the averages for the Kerman Unified district and the state of California.
The school's academic performance closely mirrors the district averages, suggesting broader systemic factors. With per-student spending above the national average, the focus for improvement may need to be on instructional strategies and curriculum, particularly for 8th-grade students, who currently perform lower than 7th graders, and in science education. Parents should note that the school's performance is consistent with the wider Kerman Unified district context.
