📍 Northwest Edition | Episode 2: Frontier High School
When people think about moving to Northwest Bakersfield, one school comes up over and over again: Frontier High School.
Yes, it's known for athletics. But after spending time learning more about the school, it's clear that what attracts families goes far beyond Friday night football.
For many move-up buyers, choosing a neighborhood isn't just about square footage anymore—it's about finding a place where their children have opportunities to thrive.
Frontier High has earned a reputation as one of Kern County's premier athletic schools, highlighted by its 2024 CIF Division 3-AA State Football Championship. But athletics are just one part of the school's culture.
In 2025, Frontier High earned the title of Kern County Academic Decathlon Champion, demonstrating the school's commitment to academic achievement as well as athletics. The Academic Decathlon challenges students in subjects ranging from mathematics and science to literature, economics, speech, and interview skills.
One of the things that stands out most is the variety of opportunities available to students. Frontier offers more than 66 clubs and organizations, including:
For families, that means students can discover interests, build friendships, and develop leadership skills throughout high school.
One of the questions I hear most from growing families is:
"What makes Northwest Bakersfield such a popular place to raise a family?"
Schools are a big part of that answer.
When you're buying your next home, you're not just investing in a house—you're investing in the community your family will experience every day.
That's one of the reasons Frontier High continues to be a major draw for buyers considering Northwest Bakersfield.
This is an ongoing series where I explore the neighborhoods, schools, parks, restaurants, local businesses, and lifestyle that make Northwest Bakersfield one of the best places to call home.
