Abraham Lincoln Jr. High

Abraham Lincoln Jr. High serves seventh and eighth graders in one of Bakersfield's more working-class east side neighborhoods, where families tend to be deeply rooted in the community and the cost of living remains accessible by California standards. The school faces significant academic challenges, with test scores that reflect the broader struggles common to under-resourced urban schools in the Central Valley. Families who are actively involved and willing to supplement their child's education at home or through outside programs will want to do their homework before enrolling.
