Summary

Quailwood Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 345 students in Bakersfield, part of the Fruitvale Elementary district, and it consistently performs better than many schools with similar student demographics.

The school stands out for its strong English Language Arts and science scores, which are above the state average, even though a high percentage of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. A major strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.1%, which is far better than the state average and most nearby schools like Laurelglen Elementary (20.8%) and Charles H. Castle Elementary (25.2%). Performance is particularly strong in the upper grades, with sixth graders excelling, though math scores in earlier grades are an area for growth.

Compared to other local schools, Quailwood holds its own. It outperforms its closest district peer, Columbia Elementary, in several subjects. However, it trails higher-performing neighbors like Stockdale Elementary, which serves a less economically challenged population. The school achieves these results with moderate per-student spending, demonstrating effective use of resources within a diverse local landscape of school performance.
