William B. Bimat Elementary School

Horrible. We had one teacher who was up to the task for the entire school year.The rest didn't want to accommodate my son.

Okay at best. We had high expectations for the Norris School District and these issues we have with the school might seem small to some people but they are unacceptable to us. As soon as we can we are moving from this district!

My son has gone here from Kindergarten to now 5th grade and all I can say is I wish I could have gone to this school when I was a kid. The class sizes are small and the teachers are very educated. My son has not had one problem and looks forward to going to school every morning. The after school day care programs for the Norris school district are the best I have ever seen. If your child has a chance to go here, you will be more than satisfied.

Bimat is a gem of a school! It is the smallest school in the best school district in Bakersfield. My children are in 2nd and 3rd grade and are thriving. The teachers and staff are amazing and very involved. It's great walking into a school and everyone knows your name. This school just received Distinguished school by the State of CA due to the amazing teachers and academics. If you want your child to go to a school where parents and teachers truly care about you child then this is the school!
