Cerbat Elementary, Kingman AZ - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Cerbat Elementary

Cerbat Elementary is a regular public school serving kindergarten through fifth grade within the Kingman Unified School District in northwestern Arizona. The school sits on the eastern side of Kingman, a city that functions as a regional trade and service center, a county seat, and a highway crossroads where Interstate 40 meets U.S. Route 93. The longest preserved stretch of historic Route 66 runs through town, and the local economy draws on tourism, warehousing and distribution at the Kingman Airport Industrial Park, and employers such as the regional medical center, Mohave County, and the school district itself. Housing in the area around the school is moderately priced compared to state averages; the typical home value and rent are below Arizona benchmarks, and the cost of a mortgage is roughly in line with what a renter would pay. The city has grown steadily over the postwar period, with planned upgrades to the U.S. 93 corridor into Interstate 11 likely to influence future development.

The school enrolls a large student body for a K‑5 campus, with a demographic mix that is predominantly white and includes a substantial Hispanic population. Smaller shares of students identify as American Indian or Alaska Native, Black, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or two or more races. The district did not report the share of students who qualify for free or reduced‑price meals, so that measure of economic need is not available here. Likewise, data on special education classification and English learner status were missing, leaving a gap in what families can learn about the school’s support resources from this profile.

State assessment results for the most recent school year show that proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science were low across all tested grades. In math, the share of students meeting proficiency was lower in fourth grade than in third or fifth; in English language arts, the rate was similar across those grades. Fifth‑grade science results followed the same pattern. Compared to other districts in Mohave County, Cerbat Elementary’s overall proficiency index placed it in the bottom quarter. Because the school serves only primary grades, there is no graduation rate, chronic absenteeism data, or course access information to round out the picture. Parents would want to talk with the school about what interventions, tutoring, or instructional supports are in place for students who are not yet meeting grade‑level benchmarks.

No information was available on programs such as gifted education, arts, or enrichment, nor on discipline rates, staffing ratios, or teacher qualifications. The district’s publicly reported recent history did not include any major changes or initiatives that might affect Cerbat families. The school’s environment is otherwise defined by what is not recorded here: a regular public elementary school in a highway‑oriented city with a historic downtown, a community college campus, and outdoor recreation in the nearby Cerbat Foothills. Families choosing this school will be enrolling in a setting where academic outcomes are a clear concern, and where the available data leaves many practical questions about student support unanswered. A direct inquiry to the principal or a visit to the school would be a necessary next step for any parent weighing this option.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
