Summary

Evergreen Elementary is a 660-student K–5 school in Bakersfield, California, in the Bakersfield City district. In 2025–2026, 31% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 15% in math, and 19% in science. Those results were close to district rates—31%, 16%, and 19%, respectively—but well below state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The central finding for families is that proficiency remains substantially below the state level in all three subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, Evergreen is stronger in ELA and science than in math: it ranked fourth-highest of 11 schools in both ELA and science, and sixth in math. Its ELA and science results of 31% and 19% were above nearby-school averages of 27% and 16%; its 15% math result was near the nearby average of 16%. Results also vary by grade: fifth-grade math was a relative bright spot at 12%, second-highest among the 11 schools, while fourth-grade math was 10%, ninth-highest and below the district’s 18%. Nearby all-grade averages include some schools serving grade 6, so they are descriptive rather than perfectly matched to Evergreen’s grade span.

Over time, ELA rose 4 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and its gap with the state narrowed by 1 point. Math fell 1 point and science rose 1 point over that period, while each subject’s state gap widened by 5 points. SchoolDigger ranks Evergreen in the 15th statewide percentile, with one star; it sits around the middle of the nearby group. A notable exception is its SchoolDigger ranking for English Language Learner students: 77th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with 12th percentile overall that year, a relative strength in how the school serves this group. The student-teacher ratio was 18.8 in 2024–2025, second-lowest among nearby schools. In that same school year, 97% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest share in the nearby group. Chronic absenteeism fell from 54% in 2021–2022 to 20% in 2024–2025, then rose to 26% in 2025–2026—above both the district and state rates, which were about 18%.
