Quailwood Elementary

Quailwood Elementary is a public school for kids in Bakersfield, California. It teaches kids from kindergarten to fifth grade. The school has between 600 and 650 students, and the student-to-teacher ratio is about 22:1, which is what the district says it should be. Quailwood Elementary School teaches based on standards, with a focus on English Language Arts and Math. Literacy development, intervention programs, and structured classroom teaching all support this. The school also helps students who are learning English and those who need more help with their homework. Its student body is diverse, with about 85–90% of students coming from minority groups, mostly Hispanic/Latino, which is similar to the demographics of the community around it. According to data from USA News, about 24–27% of students are good at math and about 30–34% are good at English Language Arts. This means that their performance is below the state average but on par with that of other schools in the area. The amount of money spent on each student is about the same as what local public schools get. The school is in a part of Bakersfield where homes are cheap, which is good for the school because people in the area are always involved. In general, Quailwood Elementary is a good school because it focuses on the basics and keeps trying to make things better for students.

Because of thick fog in Kern County, many schools in the Bakersfield area, including Quailwood and other nearby schools, had to start later on Tuesday morning because it was hard to see and drive safely. This changed the times of the buses and made it necessary for schools to change how they ran.
