This is the nineteenth year of the School Accountability
Report Card that was established by Proposition 98, an initiative passed
by California
voters. As you read the Report Card, you will gain a better
understanding of Mt.
Vernon as a school
with a record for improvement, a faculty that is professionally skilled
and personally committed to meeting the learning needs of students and a
student body which is enthusiastic and motivated to perform well.
Mt. Vernon School, grades Pre-K through 6, focuses on a
strong academic program that includes English only, English Immersion,
Alternative Program classes (Primary Language) and a Creative and
Performing Arts Magnet Program. Located in southeast Bakersfield, the 65
year-old school is housed on an 11.5-acre site.
Our mission is to provide a safe and effective school
environment where the study of academics, technology and fine arts merge
to encourage development of intellectual, artistic and personal excellence.
We maintain that our school demonstrates a positive regard
for all students, staff and community. We believe that all children
can learn, enjoy learning and become lifelong learners. Finally, we
believe that teamwork involving parents, staff, students and community is
vital to student success.
