Summary:
The Rosedale Union Elementary district in Bakersfield, California, includes seven elementary schools (grades K-6) that, as a group, perform well above state averages in English, Math, and Science.
When comparing schools, Del Rio Elementary stands out for having the highest academic scores in the district, while also having one of the lowest rates of chronic student absenteeism. Almondale Elementary has the best attendance record with remarkably low absenteeism. Interestingly, Rosedale-North Elementary receives the most funding per student and has the smallest class sizes, yet its academic results are in the middle of the district pack, whereas top-performing Del Rio operates with less funding per student.
Overall, the district's schools show strong attendance and outperform state averages. Parents may note that 5th grade math appears to be a challenging subject across several schools, and science scores vary widely, from a high of 47.5% at Del Rio to 23.53% at Patriot Elementary. Independence Elementary shows exceptional strength in 6th grade academics. The district could potentially learn from the effective practices at schools like Del Rio and Almondale to benefit all students.
