GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Good people and small classes. It's great for one on one learning. However due to how small it is we usually don't get much funding for things which leads us to lacking education and classes other bigger schools have. It is a great and caring environment for a kid to grow up but they will lack what other schools have to offer. I do think if they get more kids and more staff then it would be even better, but for now it remains mediocre.

Bakersfield High School is an amazing school because you know everyone here. The staff is so nice and caring along with all the students.

I enjoy hanging out with my friends and I've met some fantastic people but that's about it. I will admit that I've been able to go to state and national conventions with some of the clubs and that was pretty fun. The people are horrible except for a select few.

It seems to me like they go out of their way to make sure all kids get an education, and this has been for many years. Each kid counts. They don't have as many classes as a bigger school, but they do have a vo-tech bus to take them to vo-tech school where lots more technical subjects are offered.
