School Overview

Nestled in the high desert community of Tehachapi — a small mountain town known for its wind turbines, mild summers, and tight-knit feel — Cummings Valley Elementary offers solid academics that land comfortably above the state average across English, math, and science. Families who are drawn to a quieter, rural lifestyle away from the bustle of the Central Valley or LA Basin will find a school that reflects the community's grounded, close-knit character. It's a good fit for families who value a smaller-town school environment without sacrificing academic quality.
