Senior: Bakersfield High School is an amazing experience and was probably the most welcomed ive ever felt at a school. The sports teams were great but not top end d1 teams like they used to be, but overall was an enjoyable experience.... Read 420 reviews

Junior: As a student who entered Highland as a Freshman, knowing no one. Highland is a great school to make new friends. Yes, there are cliques, but I personally feel one can find at least one friend/group setting that they feel they will belong to. As far as teachers, I personally haven't had a negative experience. I feel that most teachers do want to help you succeed. Lunches are very crowded because we had a recent change from 2 lunches to 1. And I feel like it wasn't a good decision because there are more fights than usual and it is extremely crowded. We also have tardy sweeps everyday and yes I do understand why, but if it has become this much of a problem, clearly nothing is being done to fix it. I think it is awesome how we are now getting a pool built. It should be done by fall next year. I really enjoy the sports, whether it's going to the games/being in the games. Overall highland is a pretty good school and I am happy here.... Read 410 reviews

Senior: Some good experiences at East Bakersfield High school is there is good hard working and teamwork in every club and they all just put everyone together and to participate on things and just trying new activities out. That’s something so amazing that high school does because even though there’s somethings people just don’t wanna try out they miss it but once they put you on with it it changes someone’s perspective which is great because your trying out something new in life you never tried before....

Senior: Centennial has given me many opportunities and has taught me what I want to do with my life in the future. My Freshman year, I took the opportunity to go to a different school, away from my friends, to be involved in the PLTW biomedical science class offered at Centennial. I have continued my involvement throughout my entire high school career. The PLTW Biomedical science class taught me more about my deep curiosity about the brain. I have learned about many different fields and studies through this class. I gained lab and problem-solving skills, taught me to think outside the box, and gained many life skills. Taking the opportunity to involve myself in this class was one of the best decisions I've made. It has influenced my career choice and made me feel more prepared and confident in choosing my career. It taught me the subjects I enjoy and thrive in.... Read 371 reviews

Senior: This school lives up to its name. It is an incredibly "wonderful" school. This school not only has all grades from Kindergarten to seniors but they strive to give each grade level the utmost education available. This school also has the best lunch, not simply being healthy but also tasty. One thing that has to be acknowledged is its openness to feedback. A couple of years ago, the students came together and helped develop a new meal plan for the school that opened more kids up to eating there. What makes a school great is the support system. The students are friendly and are extremely educated. They are taught great presentation skills and quickly develop the ability to ask for help. The teachers have come to show that they truly love their job. Multiple teachers can testify to the fact of comfort and a true sense of community in this school. The administration provides an immense amount of support by sending students on field trips both educational and fun. The majority agree 100%.... Read 138 reviews

Senior: My overall experience at Wasco High School has been wonderful. I have faced many academic challenges throughout my academic career. I would say the most challenging classes would be the dual enrollment program. I think everyone should enroll in this to get a better academic opportunity. Although some changes that may need to be made would be the food selection as well as the staffs attitude towards students.... Read 224 reviews

Senior: Overall I feel like this school is a very nice school compared to places I have been. It is hard to say that it is amazing or that it is not the best because I have some teachers that I would say really care about the students. My Calc BC teacher, I feel, is almost like my dad. I feel like he really cares about us. But then I have teachers like my English teacher, who should not be in a classroom. The sports teams are also interesting because we have very athletic and good players and a couple of good coaches, but my varsity basketball coaches had no idea what they were doing and should not be coaching. The actual campus is fairly clean and nice and the administration is always making sure the students are safe. Overall my school is not a bad place to be, there are just people that make the experience a little harder than it should be.... Read 362 reviews

Senior: By far my favorite aspect of McFarland High School is the dual enrollment. While in High School I am able to take college courses through the dual enrollment offered. These courses are taken online with Bakersfield College. We are provided counselors who guide us through our dual enrollment process. With many pathways to choose from, I took the Spanish pathway. By the time I graduate I will graduate from high school and Bakersfield College with an associates of arts in Spanish. This opportunity is truly game changing for students here in the small town of McFarland.... Read 171 reviews
