The only reason I wouldn't rate GREAT is because we are not State rated as GREAT schools. In reality though, Shafter,CA is a place where you would want to raise your kids in California. With a grade A+ City Council that considered education a priority by providing a learning center with teachers in colaboration with school districts, you will always find an option for your child. Shafter boast of a tight knitted community of family based, hard working people ethics. Shafter, CA.......... good ole' small town Love!! :)

Shafter is friendly, very community minded, and has great people. Plus, the city government is in excellent financial shape, unlike a lot of cities in California. We love living here!"
