Summary:
The city of Kerman, California is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with Liberty Elementary and Goldenrod Elementary standing out as the top-performing elementary schools, while Enterprise High lags behind with very low proficiency rates.
At the high school level, Kerman High emerges as the strongest performer, with the highest graduation rates and lowest dropout rates in the district. However, the district as a whole struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, particularly at the alternative and virtual school options. This suggests a need for targeted interventions to improve student engagement and attendance across the Kerman Unified School District.
The data also reveals a strong correlation between poverty, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, and lower academic achievement. This highlights the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students in the district and the importance of addressing the root causes of these disparities through comprehensive, districtwide improvement strategies.
