The teachers have all been so helpful and create an engaging learning environment, plus the school is next to a park so the kids can play after school. If you're able to get in their district, expect an A+ in education, character development, and fun.

They were so attentive with my child and they were fantastic with putting out information regularly and keeping parents updated. Even though things were different with my child coming to a new school, you would never be able to tell that she wasn't previously a Veterans Eagle. We are excited to see what 2021 brings.

What can I say about Old River Elementary? My daughter has been attending this school since 2nd…read moregrade. I have never had any issues with the teachers. I enjoy the functions this school throws. The school always seems clean, and I love how they include kids. For example, they have kids working the drive thru, opening doors, and saying have a nice day to parents. It's adorable. The only bad things I have to say are the traffic, parking and where the cross guards are. I can't explain it, but if you're a parent or guardian attending, then you know what I'm talking about. But all schools traffic is nowhere near to perfect. So we just gotta deal with it!

Both my boys attended this elementary, with my older son attending in 2008 as a 3rd grader and my…read moreyounger son just finishing his last year here this past school year, he actually spent all 7yrs of his elementary years here. Love that this school promotes and pushes the kids educationally and makes their learning experience fun. This is one of the only schools that have the G.A.T.E. program from my understanding and they have to bus the other kids from neighboring schools to attend. This school is one of the top elementary schools in Bakersfield, from the kids scoring really well academically to the parents playing a huge role being involved with tons of activities and with teachers participating and pushing the kids to be successful. It's a really clean school and the school strives to stay safe and to keep clean. I have had a lot of ups and downs here, my older son is deaf and most of his years attending Stockdale was always positive, but there were a few teachers who you can tell did not want to spend time with a disabled child or "deal" with it. My son was too advanced to be in a mentally challenged class, but not advanced enough to be in a regular class, so he struggled a lot being in a regular course class. On a positive note, there were many teachers that are amazing people and take the time to create an atmosphere where education was extremely important and there were more teachers like that in this school rather than the bad apples here. I have never had any similar situations with my younger son as he is always academically advanced and that part gives me a lot of mixed feelings. I feel like he had a more fair experience because he wasn't disabled and he did not have to have a whole lot of one on one since he was advanced, but I honestly can't judge that part and say that's why he may have had a better experience because people who have a child with a disability always feel shorted by everyone, so maybe it's just me. Both my kids absolutely loved this school and has had a positive experience here for the most part. Both kids had an opportunity to participate in numerous activities (Band, Chorus, Battle of the Books, Math Field Day, Track and many more). Their most memorable moments had to be their last year when they both went to Camp Keep to experience the outdoors science and education. This gave them an opportunity to gain closer relationships with their peers and to learn a little bit of independence. The school has prevented a lot of traffic problems by utilizing their valet in the front of the school or drop offs at the back of the school, the only thing that still bothers me til this day is when parents drop off their kids at the back of the school, the principal/teachers have had this rule about parents parking in the middle of the road and letting their kids out instead of safely parking and letting their kids out. The principal/teachers have had multiple meetings with parents letting them know this is illegal, yet I honestly feel the principal only allows certain parents to still do that, my suggestion is to make sure your child and everyone elses kids are safe. If you plan to allow your kids to attend Stockdale Elementary, I believe your kids will have one of the best educations in Bakersfield for a public school.

While some of the staff is amazing most of them are a bunch of jaded teaches who are just tired. They are not excited to be there so how could the kids be? The principle and teachers have decided to use there power for wrong and rather than empowering kids they are empowering there egos/pride. The PTC is amazing has a lot of great activity for the kids and families! The best school as far as that but everything else is bottom of the barrel as far as schools are concerned.
