Midway Elementary School District is uniquely positioned within the expansive and diverse landscape of Kern County, California. Our district primarily serves the communities nestled within and around the historic Midway-Sunset Oil Field region, a cornerstone of the county's industrial heritage. This encompasses the close-knit localities and rural stretches situated between the larger towns of Taft and Maricopa, extending to the smaller, unincorporated areas like Fellows. While deeply rooted in this specific part of Kern County, our reach also includes the outlying residential areas that support the local energy, agricultural, and service industries, fostering a strong sense of shared community across our geographically significant footprint.
