School Overview

Raffaello Palla Elementary sits in the southeastern corner of Bakersfield, a working-class part of the city where families are deeply rooted in the agricultural and industrial backbone of the San Joaquin Valley. The school serves a close-knit community and, while its academic scores reflect some of the challenges that come with the surrounding area, it offers a stable and familiar environment for families in the Greenfield Union district. Families who value a neighborhood school with a strong sense of local identity — rather than a commute across town — will find Palla to be a consistent presence in this corner of Bakersfield.
