Summary

Vineland Elementary is a Bakersfield, California, school serving 336 students in grades K–4. Its 2025–2026 results show a split academic picture: math is a relative bright spot, while English language arts (ELA) is its clearest weakness.

Compared with nearby schools, Vineland ranks 4th of 11 in math proficiency and 8th of 11 in ELA. Its math rate is 25%, above the nearby-school average of 22% and the district rate of 13%, but below the state’s 38%. ELA proficiency is 20%, below the nearby average of 31%, the district’s 26%, and the state’s 49%. Grade 3 ELA is a particular concern: Vineland’s 12% was the lowest among the 11 nearby schools with results for that grade. Grade 4 is stronger by comparison, especially in math.

Both subjects have improved since 2022–2023, though recent ELA progress has reversed: ELA rose from 12% to 20% overall, then fell from 24% in 2024–2025, while math climbed from 15% to 25%. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 28% in 2021–2022 to 11% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger places Vineland in the 12th statewide percentile with 1 star, up from the 1st percentile in 2021–2022. The school’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 19.7, the second-lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios. Its low-income measure was 70% directly certified for free meals in 2024–2025; it is also marked “CEP likely,” meaning it likely provides free meals to all students. SchoolDigger ranked how well the school served English Language Learner students at the 77th statewide percentile in 2023–2024, compared with its overall 5th percentile that year. For Migrant Students, its ranking shifted from the 81st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 18th in 2025–2026, so that result is not a stable pattern.
