Wasco is a rural community located about 25 miles northwest of Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley. Historically an agricultural town, the area surrounding Wasco is responsible for cultivating more than half of all roses grown in the United States—the annual Rose Festival is one of the year’s biggest events, drawing revelers from around the region. The region also hosts major oil and gas drilling operations, particularly at the Semitropic Oil Field just west of town. Within the city, charming neighborhoods of unpretentious homes and apartment communities dominate the landscape, with the small Downtown district along 7th Street forming the local shopping and dining headquarters.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
