Summary

Henry Eissler Elementary serves 529 students in grades K–6 in Bakersfield, within the Bakersfield City district. Its 2025–26 results show a clear difference by subject: ELA is a relative strength, while science is the most urgent concern. Only 8% of students were proficient in science, the lowest result among the 10 nearby schools and 28 percentage points below California’s 36%.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with local schools: 40% of students were proficient, the second-highest result among nearby schools and 8 points above their average. That result was 9 points above the district’s 31%, but 9 points below the state’s 49%. Math was in the middle locally: 23% were proficient, fourth-highest among nearby schools and above the local average of 20%, though 15 points below the state’s 38%. Science was also 12 points below the district’s 19% and far below the nearby-school average of 21%; it was just below College Heights Elementary. Grade-level results add nuance: third-grade ELA was 5 points above the state, and sixth-grade ELA was slightly above it, while fifth-grade math was 24 points below the state.

Over time, ELA has improved while math and science have declined: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 5 points, math fell 3, and science fell 4. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 30th statewide percentile with 1 star, up from the 26th percentile in 2023–24; the district is in the 11th percentile with 1 star. The school has the lowest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools at 17.9 students per teacher (2024–25), but that does not coincide with strong results across subjects. In 2024–25, 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup shift is for Special Education Students: the school’s percentile rose from 18 in 2023–24 to 43 in 2024–25, then was 33 in 2025–26, compared with an overall percentile of 30 that year. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 47% in 2021–22 to 16% in 2025–26, below the district’s 18% and the state’s 18%.
