Olive Drive Elementary

This school is a part of Norris Elementary School District

Norris Elementary School District is a high-performing, stable K-8 system in Northwest Bakersfield, characterized by a 'Solid/Stable' operational health. While the district faces a notable performance decline at the middle school level and math proficiency lags behind literacy, the elementary schools are among the region's best. The district is currently navigating growth-related capacity constraints and a governance shift to geographic trustee areas, both of which indicate a mature organization adapting to regional expansion. With strong community support, high teacher quality rankings, and a reputation as a destination district, it remains a premier choice for families despite the lack of a top-tier terminal school site.
