ZIP Code 93307 · Bakersfield, California
Kern County · 24,590 counted · 7 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 24,590 homes counted in ZIP Code 93307, not the chance that any one address is in that district. Enrollment follows the street: two houses on opposite sides of the same road can be in different districts, and only the district office can say which.
The districts named for the early grades in ZIP Code 93307, Bakersfield, California are not the districts named for high school, and the set changes in both directions: 1 district arrives for high school that no elementary answer names, and 6 run the early grades and stop. 7 districts hold the 24,590 homes counted here between them, and Kern High is the largest by homes. Districts holding under half a percent of the homes named at their own level are listed separately below and are not counted in that number. The area sits in Kern County, California.
The early grades are divided many ways
6 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 93307 at this level. Greenfield Union is the largest with 10,048 homes; the smallest of them holds 129 homes. Greenfield Union, Bakersfield City, Fairfax Elementary and 3 more districts are named here for grade school and not for high school.
Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 24,590 homes counted in ZIP Code 93307, so one cell is 703 homes, rounded to the nearest whole cell. Cells lit solid are the homes one district holds, and the unlit cells are the homes held by the other districts in the same list.

Below half a percent at the grade school level: Vineland Elementary School District, Di Giorgio Elementary School District and Arvin Union School District, and one more hold 130 homes between them, which is why they are counted under the list rather than inside it.

The set of names changes in both directions
Kern High is named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Greenfield Union, Bakersfield City, Fairfax Elementary and 3 more districts run the early grades and no more. An address on the wrong street can therefore change district at the change of grade and land in a district that was never part of its elementary answer, while a neighbor two blocks away keeps one name the whole way through.
What one district name costs in 93307

That is the whole difference between this page and a one-line answer: the same federal file, read to the end instead of to the first row.

What to do next
Ask the district office to confirm your street address: look on its site for a school locator, a find my school tool or an attendance zone map, or call the office.
A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: one district covers every home counted in 93307, and even then the street is what enrolls a child, because magnet, charter and choice programs ignore the boundary entirely.
District websites and phone numbers here come from the NCES Common Core of Data directory, 2024-25 school year, filed under the same district ID as the Census boundary files. Where it lists no usable website, none is printed rather than guessed.
What this site can hand you instead:
If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.
Where these numbers come from
The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file, so a fast-growing area may have changed since; ZIP Codes here are the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; a share is a share of homes, not the chance that one address is in a district; and a district is not a school attendance zone. Every source, file and caveat is on the method page.
