History
Big Bear Elementary School is the first and oldest school in the Bear Valley. The school was called Big Bear School and it served students from K-12th grades. Later in 1948, the growth of the population made Big Bear build its first high school, which is now Big Bear Middle School. As the years passed, the population kept rising dramatically due to the new ski resort [Snow Summit], which was created in 1954, and many new tourist attractions. As a result of this, Big Bear built a newer high school in the Sugarloaf community of Big Bear. The old Big Bear High School was changed to Big Bear Middle School. Big Bear Middle school was at first attended by 6-8 graders. In the 1996-1997 school year it then only taught 7th and 8th grade and the 6th grade classes were transferred to the 3 elementary schools based on location. By this time the district had 3 schools: Big Bear Elementary, Big Bear Middle School, and Big Bear High School. After the high school was built many local residents were upset at the fact that the school was in the ugliest area of Big Bear, and it caused big controversy and it still is a big issue to some local residents to this day. During the 1970s and 1980s Big Bear formed North Shore Elementary, and Baldwin Lane Elementary. and in the 1990s the district added Fallsvale Elementary to the list. The district has been that way ever since.
