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.

We've had multiple teachers have breakdowns crying during the IEP meetings. Teachers are too bougie with staff and treat the place more of a social Center then a school. They have little or no control over students. We know from experience that you can elope from that school pretty easy with there no hands policy. The whole school Norris district is just crap, no support for ASD no support for families. All they want to do is send your kids to institutes or County facilities. No wonder people are quitting jobs and homeschooling their kids. This is been our second experience at bimat please if you do have a ASD kid please do not subject them to this school, they're very untrained unequipped and constantly ask us for help. I understand asking for help but a teacher has chosen that job they chosen to go school they are the expert.I should be asking them questions not the other way around . They tell you they have all these educated experts and out of all these educated experts you might get one or two that actually understand what's goin on and will listen. Make sure you get with hearts connection Valley achievement and card get as much support as you can before you enter any school district. So for all the autistic kids out there and parents struggling avoid the Heartbreak but if you do go here have a good crew with you. Kids legal.com I know all your rights before you do any IEP and do not sign any IEP. Until you understand it completely. Cheers I wish more schools had Yelp would help us parents

They bus kids in from all over the place for the Magnet, but the wait list is long, so sign up early (like seriously at birth) to ensure your kid a spot. My daughter did Transitional kinder here with Mrs. Furr, and this year tested at 2nd grade level in reading and 1st grade level in math. Last year I would pick her up from Magnet and she would teach me all about bats, snakes, the water cycle, insects, you name it. It was wonderful to pick her up everyday and see the happiness on her face. The teachers and staff really love the kids and care about their education and development. I can't say enough good things about the school. It is a wonderful and safe place to educate your child and I recommend it highly.

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!

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.
