School Overview

Stella I. Hills Elementary sits in one of Bakersfield's older, working-class neighborhoods on the west side of town, where tight-knit community ties run deep and families tend to put a lot of faith in their local school. The school faces real academic challenges, ranking among the lower end statewide in English, math, and science, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to explore additional enrichment options outside of school. That said, for parents who are deeply rooted in this part of Bakersfield and want to stay connected to their immediate community, Hills can still be a familiar, close-to-home starting point for their child's education.
