School Overview

Barstow High sits in the heart of the Mojave Desert, serving a community that's long been shaped by its proximity to Fort Irwin and the I-15 corridor between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The school's science scores stand out relative to its other subjects, which may reflect the practical, applied mindset that tends to run through desert military towns. Families who are rooted in Barstow — whether through military connections, railroad history, or just a love of wide-open high desert living — will find a school that's part of the fabric of a tight-knit, no-frills community where everyone tends to know everyone.
