School Overview

Tevis Junior High sits in the southwest corner of Bakersfield, one of the more family-friendly pockets of a city that tends to surprise newcomers with its tight-knit neighborhoods and strong community pride. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with English scores that push noticeably above average — a good sign for families who prioritize literacy and communication skills heading into high school. It's a reasonable fit for families putting down roots in the newer subdivisions of southwest Bakersfield, where the cost of living is relatively affordable and the suburban feel is real.
