School Overview

California City is a quirky, wide-open desert town in Kern County with a fascinating backstory — it was planned to be a massive metropolis that never quite materialized, leaving behind a sprawling grid of empty streets and a tight-knit community that's very much its own world. California City Middle serves the families who call this remote high-desert enclave home, and it faces real academic challenges across English, math, and science that families should go in with eyes open about. For parents in the area, understanding what additional support or enrichment their kids might need outside of school will be an important part of the picture here.
