Kern County Juvenile Court: A juvenile court school. No Scope Score publishes here.
A Scope Score ranks schools a family can choose between. At Kern County Juvenile Court, students are enrolled by court order, most for weeks or months — so a comparative rank would measure something a family's choice never entered. We show what California reports and hold the rank.

Kern County Juvenile Court is a juvenile court school in Bakersfield, California. SchoolScope publishes no Scope Score, performance band, archetype or ranking for schools where enrollment is assigned rather than chosen, so its CDE CAASPP 2025 results appear here unranked.
74 students were tested here on last year's CAASPP. 0.0% met or exceeded the standard; 0.0% exceeded it.
Chronic absenteeism ran 33.9%; the suspension rate was 10.7%. California reports both the same way it does for every school — this page just doesn't rank them here.
Families don't choose a court or community school off this page — a student arrives through the court, a probation department, or a district referral. For a specific student, the county office of education or the district's alternative-education office is the right first call.
- Ask how credits earned here transfer back to a student's home school.
- Ask what continuity of services looks like when a student moves between this program and a comprehensive campus.
- Ask what happens to a student's education plan after they leave.

ShowHide what the district pays
Pay is set by the district, not the school.
It spends $42,420 per student, more than the California average.
Context — never part of the Scope Score
These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.
$5,176 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.
District-level, from the district's own SACS general-ledger filing — school-by-school breakdowns aren't published by the state.
