Barstow Junior High

Barstow Junior High serves students in the heart of the Mojave Desert, a high-desert community that sits along the historic Route 66 corridor between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Families here tend to be deeply tied to the military presence at nearby Fort Irwin or the railroad industry that has long defined the town, and the school reflects a community that values grit and perseverance in a challenging environment. Academic outcomes here are a significant concern, and families who prioritize strong test performance may want to explore additional support resources or supplemental learning options alongside what the school provides.
