School Overview

Tucked into the southern reaches of Bakersfield, W. A. Kendrick Elementary stands out as one of the stronger academic options in the Greenfield Union District, with particularly solid English scores that put it well above the majority of California elementary schools. Families who prioritize a school with genuine academic momentum — without having to navigate a more competitive or selective process — tend to find Kendrick a great fit. Bakersfield's south side has a tight-knit, working-class character, and Kendrick reflects that community spirit while quietly delivering results that outperform a lot of its neighbors.
