It's a great, hands-on school, with great teachers and nice classrooms. Teachers really make a great bond with each classmate and try to help them learn as best as possible.

My son tried both of those schools and hated it. he didn't feel seen and didn't have much help from teachers. We decided to choose garces after those two and wish we chose garces sooner!

They were able to open earlier and have been very responsive to the health and welfare of their students. We have been very happy with the education that my boys have received at Garces Memorial. I would recommend this school for everyone. It's not perfect, but MUCH better than the experiences we had in the Kern High School District.

I've been to this campus a couple of times recently for graduations, and I also attended school…read morehere many years ago. Walking around brought back a lot of memories because honestly, the campus still looks pretty much the same as I remember it. Some areas have been updated, but overall it hasn't changed too much over the years. One thing that definitely hasn't improved is the parking situation. Finding parking for classes was always stressful back then, and it still seems to be a problem now, especially during big events like graduations. It can take a while just to find a spot, and traffic getting in and out of campus can be frustrating. Another thing I noticed is that there always seems to be construction going on somewhere around campus. It feels like certain buildings are constantly under repair or being worked on, and the projects seem to take forever to finish. It can make the campus look a little messy and inconvenient at times. On the positive side, the teachers and staff I've interacted with have always been pretty cool and helpful. Overall, it's still a decent school with a familiar atmosphere, but there are definitely some areas that could use improvement.

I recently stopped by to take some pictures for my siblings' graduations, and the campus has plenty of photoworthy spots with great foliage, architecture, and a little creek which runs through campus. This is also where I voted in the recent primary. It is so nice to have a public institution so close to home. I've been to a couple graduation ceremonies as my sister received her bachelors and masters here. They always do a good job with their ceremonies and were accommodating for our mobily challenged grandmother.

The schedule during spring & fall is very flexible. I worked full time during the day & still managed to get a Bachelor's in 2 years at CSUB. Most of my professors were accommodating to me when I had serious medical issues. I met some professors that truly made my experience wonderful. Anytime I've had registering or scheduling issues, I was always promptly able to handle them thanks to all the departments. The facility is beautiful. Clean, spacious & always a lot of security & police. I love that there are different food options & a Starbucks. The student store is stocked & reasonably priced. I can't say enough good things about this university. I'm proud to be a Runner Alumni! Go Roadrunners!

I believe our city is truly privileged to be home to a restaurant like Cafe 1600! This is the only…read moreplace in Bakersfield where you can go eat gourmet food and feel like a VIP guest every time you go, no matter who you are. The restaurant is operated by the Bakersfield Adult School and trains students in the preparation, cooking and the serving of gourmet and banquet dinning. It is opened when the Bakersfield school district is in session. In the morning, they always have hot coffee, tea, pastries and giant cookies to buy. The pastries are all baked on site and are just as good as any Parisian bakery could offer (I know since I've eaten plenty of croissants, pastries and bread while in Paris). These are the best pastries you can get in a 200 mile radius of Bakersfield! The menu is procured by the chef every week. Sometimes the food service is slow but it's okay since it is a teaching restaurant and the foods always make up for the service. Erin the host is always so warm to you and makes you feel welcomed and special. The location isn't the best and out of the way, but you are really doing yourself a disservice if you haven't been there. I will always be there when they offer their Rack of Lamb ($15.00!) on their lunch menu. On Tuesdays they do Grab and Go Service. You can always email them ahead of time to arrange for pick up too. Go to the Bakersfield Adult School website to more information.

We both ordered steak salad (name doesn't do it justice) it was a whole steak cooked perfectly med rare, like I requested and served alongside a beautiful salad of mixed greens and heirloom tomatoes, with a light balsamic dressing. The meal was exceptional, they are really doing a great job all around. Of course you don't want to skip dessert! We chose the chocolate cake, it was served on chocolate ganache and filled with a layer of cream, something special to finish off a five star dinner. Thanks to Liz and all the culinary class, we will definitely be back!
