Actis Junior High sits in the southwest Bakersfield area, serving seventh and eighth graders in the Panama-Buena Vista Union district — a part of the Central Valley where working families put down deep roots and schools are a true center of community life. Actis sits in the middle of the pack academically, with room to grow especially in math, making it a school where motivated families may want to stay closely involved in their student's learning journey.
