Frank West Elementary

Frank West Elementary sits in southeast Bakersfield, a working-class part of the city where families are deeply rooted in the community and schools play a central role in neighborhood life. The school faces some real academic challenges, with scores in English and Math in the lower range statewide, though its science performance shows a bit more promise. Families who are actively involved in their child's education and looking to supplement classroom learning at home may find this school a place where their engagement can make a meaningful difference.
