School Overview

Sequoia Elementary sits in Shafter, a small agricultural town in the heart of Kern County's San Joaquin Valley, where the community is tight-knit and families tend to have deep roots in the area. The school faces some academic headwinds, with test scores in English and math sitting in the lower quartile statewide, though science shows a bit more strength relative to the other subjects. Families who are engaged and looking to supplement classroom learning at home may find this a place where their involvement can make a real difference in their child's experience.
