Lamont Elementary

Lamont is a small, tight-knit agricultural community just southeast of Bakersfield, where families have deep roots and a strong sense of local pride. Lamont Elementary serves the youngest learners in the community through third grade, offering a focused early childhood environment, though the school faces real academic challenges — particularly in English — that families should weigh carefully. Families who are invested in getting involved and supplementing learning at home may find the close community ties here to be a genuine strength as their kids get started in school.
