The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

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.

Very good school academically wise and has helped me a lot into getting accepted into all the colleges I applied for. I feel ready and prepared for college. One thing I would like to see change is the school food. I wish they provided more variety in food options and healthier choices. They should change up the food every now and then and give bigger portions because I feel like one school lunch isn't enough to keep students full.
