"Oleander is one of bakersfield oldest neighborhoods...it may have a few areas that need to be improved due to the increase in the homeless population, but they even choose the area because of how quiet it is"

"Overrun by the homeless, theft, property destruction and homeless animals. Most neighbors keep to themselves have their windows, blinds, shutters closed and locked. Constant fire and police sirens along with fireworks and gunshots throughout the night. Most people try to take pride in their home and property but many are just renters and could care less about the property."

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe invest in a Catholic School education for our two children because, in a world where there are so much noise and confusion, we want our children to be able to create a level of love and respect for their faith. But most of all, to have a safe place to come to and get the best education possible. Beyond that, St. Francis Parish School is a great Catholic school. The overall loving and kind educational environment our children are going to be raised and taught in, I firmly believe, will improve their morals and reinforced their character development. Not to mention the excellent and responsive teachers and staff that I have come to enjoy, and I would expect from a private and religious Catholic education.Parent Review5y ago15 Reviews
