Summary

Rosedale-North Elementary is a Bakersfield, California, school serving 537 students in grades K–6 in the Rosedale Union Elementary district. Compared with 10 other nearby K–6 schools, its clearest concern is sixth grade: Rosedale-North ranked last in both ELA and math, with 40% proficient in ELA and 25% in math. Every nearby school scored higher in both subjects.

Across all grades, math is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state, but it trails nearby schools. Math proficiency was 39%, just above the state’s 38% but below the district’s 41% and the nearby-school average of 45%; Rosedale-North ranked third-lowest among the 11 schools. ELA was 46%, below the state’s 49% and district’s 53%, and the lowest in the comparison group. Science was weaker still at 30%, compared with 36% statewide, 37% districtwide, and a 37% nearby-school average; it ranked second-lowest. Third-grade math is a bright spot: 59% proficiency was above the state’s 47% and district’s 54%, and ranked fourth among the 11 schools.

Results have shifted unevenly since 2022–23: ELA rose 1 percentage point, math rose 4 points but fell 5 points from its 2024–25 peak, and science dropped 7 points. Science moved from 7 points above the state to 6 points below it. SchoolDigger places Rosedale-North at the 55th percentile statewide in 2025–26, with 3 stars; nearby schools range from the 57th to the 73rd percentile, and the district is at the 71st percentile. The school has the comparison group’s lowest student-teacher ratio, 18.2 in 2024–25, but that has not coincided with higher scores. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible share was 50% in 2024–25, compared with a 45% nearby-school average; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure places results for White Students at the 23rd percentile, versus 55th overall. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, the percentile fell from 75 in 2024–25 to 52 in 2025–26, while the overall school percentile declined from 62 to 55.
