School Overview

East Bakersfield High sits in the eastside of Bakersfield, a part of town with deep community roots and a strong sense of neighborhood pride. The school shows some bright spots in English, but math scores lag behind, making it a better fit for families who are actively involved in their student's academic journey and ready to seek out extra support where needed. Bakersfield itself is a sprawling Central Valley city with affordable housing and a tight-knit, working-class character — families here tend to be loyal to their community schools, and East High carries that local identity.
