I suffer from PTSD because of the uncontrolled bulling i received while i attended that school from 1990-1996.
NOW, my 9 year old son, in 4th grade, (ironically has the same teacher i had) has been suffering the same fate since he started attending Pioneer Drive, in 2009. He cries when i tell him its bed time because he knows he has to go through all the bulling, (verbally, and physically) all over again the next day. He cries when i wake him up and begs to stay home. In december he was attacked by 2 boys who beat him with gloves filled with rocks. the boys were only suspended, and continue to bully my son. in january 2 6th grade girls kicked him in the ribs repeatedly when he didnt get off a swing. that resulted in him having severely bruised ribs and being restricted from ALL physical activity until 7-28-14. Thats 6 months of recovery! the girls were also only suspended, and also continue to bully my son. When I talk to the school they just claim my son brings it on himself.
- Recommendations: Home-school! Bakersfield is horrible. I do not know of any decent schools in bakersfield.

- What did you like? There is nothing to like about this school. Take your children, and run away before they are injured or mentally scarred!
- What did you dislike? The staff does not try to make the school a safe environment. they ignore any issues they think might be difficult to deal with. when a student is bullied its their own fault. The 2nd grade teacher named Ms. Jimenez, lied to me about my son, lied to the disciplinarians about my son getting him in trouble for things he did not do. and when i called the woman upset about her lies to get my son in trouble, i raised my voice at her and voiced a few curse words even. she called the school's office from her class room saying she was scared to leave the class room, or walk to her car, because I had THREATENED her! this school is HELL! they dont care about your kids. Also, Caucasians beware! the students are 80-90% hispanic, and do NOT like Caucasians. Both of my children are bullied and picked on just for being white! they are teased for having blonde hair and blue eyes, kids stare at them and whisper cruel things to each other in spanish and point and laugh at the white kids. RUN AWAY!!!
