Area & Neighborhood Coverage
The Elk Hills Elementary School District proudly serves a distinct, expansive portion of western Kern County, California. Our geographical footprint stretches across the semi-arid landscapes of the southern San Joaquin Valley, encompassing the unincorporated community of Elk Hills itself and reaching into the surrounding rural areas. This includes families residing near the historic Elk Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve and those in the agricultural and energy-centric pockets between larger municipalities. While we maintain a unique local identity, our district is situated within reasonable proximity to the communities of Taft to the southwest and Buttonwillow to the north, acting as a vital educational hub for a region characterized by its natural resource industries and open spaces.
