94% of students at Kerman Unified Online were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.

Kerman Unified Online is a virtual school, so instruction happens mostly online. That flexibility suits some kids and frustrates others; it asks a lot of self-discipline and a steady setup at home. Think about whether your child learns well on their own, and ask how the school keeps students engaged.
