Earl Warren Junior High

Earl Warren Junior High sits in the southwest part of Bakersfield, one of the faster-growing corners of a city that's been quietly expanding for years, with newer neighborhoods and a strong sense of community pride. The school stands out for its particularly solid English program, and families who prioritize literacy and communication skills will find a lot to like here. It's a good fit for parents in the Panama-Buena Vista district looking for a junior high that punches above its weight in a region where academic options are becoming increasingly competitive.
