The Principal is awful! Their safety awareness is non-existent! I have witnessed the gate propped open on several occasions which is INSANE considering their location and the current environment we live in today?! There is a few teachers that are AWESOME like Mrs. Reyes and Mr. Whitmeyer. I decided to write this hoping to save other parents from enrolling then reflecting over the years only to feel like as a parent I made the wrong choice?! There has to be better private schools in Bakersfield, Ca.? Best wishes

Save your money. My child attended Readyland, and I was not impressed. I went ahead and tried…read moreHeritage hoping for better - it's just an extension of the poor quality of care and service. If your child tells you something and you attempt to talk to staff or the principal, they just blow you off, and you become the enemy. I find it hard to trust these people with my child. I have had several problems and my child has had several complaints. I do not recommend this school at all.

Tonight I attended EBHS's play Grease. As you walked to the auditorium you are greeted by a staff…read moremember and student as they hand you your ticket, or sell you one if you did not buy one in advance. They had a small "consignment" where they sold chips, candy, and THEE cutest themed cookies (wished I would have taken a picture before I devoured one of them!). I bought 3 cookies, two for my kiddos and one for me. We were given a program of the play and we quickly chose our seats. We got aisle seats on the middle left side of the auditorium. Before the play started, (as usual) I had to use the restrooms. Being at a school function I was a bit worried that it would be not up to par, but it was clean and all necessities were well stocked! The play started promptly at 7pm. The students and staff did an amazing job! Was this really a school play? They looked like pros! The costumes were on-point, and the stage looked like it was out of a professional Broadway play. Great job everybody! Now, I had to take a star because of the sound. Although you can tell the kids knew their songs and had angelic voices, it could not overtake the bad speaker sound. At many times it was hard to understand what they were saying while singing. Other than that, the play was great!
