Kerman High

Summary:

Kerman High is a public high school located in Kerman, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,540 students. The school is part of the Kerman Unified School District, which is ranked 1059 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kerman High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.9% to 96.2% over the past five years, which is higher than the state average. The school's dropout rates have fluctuated between 1.2% and 6.9% over the same period, generally lower than the state average. However, Kerman High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.9% in 2017-2018 to 30.7% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST, is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in English Language Arts/Literacy, but significantly below in Mathematics and Science.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Enterprise High (also in the Kerman Unified District) and schools in the Central Unified and Fresno Unified districts, Kerman High generally performs better in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores, but struggles with higher chronic absenteeism. The school's location in a relatively low-income area, with 84.42% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's performance challenges, particularly in areas like chronic absenteeism and test scores.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
