School Overview

Taft Primary serves the youngest learners in this small oil-industry town tucked into the hills of western Kern County, where the community has a tight-knit, working-class character that's hard to find in bigger cities. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a particular strength for such a small district. Families who value a close community where teachers tend to know kids by name — and where the slower pace of small-town life is a genuine feature, not a bug — will feel right at home here.
