Kerman Unified Online

Summary:

Kerman Unified Online is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Kerman, California, with 188 students. It 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.

While Kerman Unified Online has a 4-year graduation rate of 79.0% for the 2022-2023 school year, which is lower than the state average of 86.8%, it outperforms some nearby alternative schools like W.E.B. DuBois Public Charter (71.1%) and Ambassador Phillip V. Sanchez II Public Charter (18.4%). However, its dropout rate of 6.5% is higher than the state average of 5.8%. Additionally, Kerman Unified Online has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 67.7% for 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average of 16.1%, indicating a need for improvement in student engagement and attendance.

Academically, Kerman Unified Online students perform significantly below state and district averages on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 11th grade ELA, only 41.51% of Kerman Unified Online students scored proficient or better, compared to 52.67% in the Kerman Unified district and 55.73% statewide. This may be partly due to the school's extremely high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 88.3%, indicating a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite these challenges, Kerman Unified Online appears to be providing a better educational experience than some of the other alternative options in the region.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Kerman Unified Online

Compare

Year	# Students	Full-time Teachers	Student/Teacher ratio	% Free/Discounted Lunch
2022	392	1.5	246.5	78.8
2023	188	2.9	64.8	88.3

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
