Our staff and students strive to create a school environment that is inclusive, kind and welcoming.  We are committed to modeling and promoting ethical leadership. Our staff continues to focus on providing effective instruction and structuring assessment opportunities that reflect our students' identities, strengths, needs and interests.  This includes providing students with rich tasks to promote critical thinking and embedding equity themes across the curriculum. 

We understand that the school community extends beyond the walls of the building and we deeply value our parents and caregivers as partners in education.  Our dedicated School Council plays an important role in improving student achievement and enhancing the accountability of the educational system.  New members are always welcome, so please contact the school for more information on how you can join Council.

We have an adage at Bakersfield that states, "Be Kind. Be Proud. Be Bakersfield," and we are very proud to be a part of this amazing community filled with supportive parents, kind students and devoted staff.  You can also follow us on Instagram at Bakersfieldproud​.
