SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 5% of California elementary schools

Summary

Casa Loma Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 424 students in the Bakersfield City School District, which ranks in the bottom 12% of all districts in California.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with only about 16% of students proficient in English and Math, placing it in the bottom 5% of elementary schools statewide. However, it spends more per student—over $24,700—than any nearby school, including higher-performing ones like Bessie E. Owens Elementary. Despite similar student populations, Bessie Owens achieves proficiency rates more than double Casa Loma's, showing that outcomes can vary greatly between schools in the same district. Casa Loma does have a relative strength in supporting English Language Learners and has made impressive progress reducing chronic absenteeism from over 54% to 20.5% in recent years.

When compared to other local schools, Casa Loma's math scores are actually slightly above the low district average, while most other Bakersfield City schools fall below it. The school maintains a smaller student-teacher ratio than several peers, such as McKinley Elementary. The analysis suggests that while high poverty levels present a common challenge, school-level leadership and teaching practices are critical, as evidenced by the better performance of some schools in the neighboring Greenfield Union district, like Prosperity Elementary.
