This is one of the best scools that my daughter has ever went to and all of my kids think she is lucky to be in this school cause all of her teachers were so nice. The best teacher there is her 5th grade teacher mrs. Barkley from last year.

Mrs. Shimizu is the best Kindergarden teacher that I have had the pleasure of knowing. She was such a great teacher that I wish she taught all grades.

Ms Valletta is the best 2nd grade teacher I've had the pleasure of knowing. She is awesome! I wish the rest were as dedicated as she. I think there are too many fundraisers. Rediculous

I can't say much for the teaching staff nor the administration but I can tell you that I thouroughly impressed with cafeteria staff and the daytime janitor. He has given my child the self-esteem he so needed when the teaching staff failed.

Don't care for the teachers or the staff. No one seems to take any issues seriously. Can't wait for this year to be over.

I am not fond of this school and how it is run. My daughter has come home many times having had her backpack stolen, or the items in her backpack taken. The admin at this school is lax and does not take disipline seriously.

This school is exceptional. Its API has been rising steadly over the years and continues to rise. Excellent YMCA program - My son is part of it and potentially my daughter will be. Kindergatten program is the best in the district and better than comparable districts within a 10 mile radius. Kids come in at 8.20AM - 2.35PM and spend a lot of time at that young age learning instead of knocking off early at 11.30AM like their peers in neighboring districts. Throughout the year this schools makes concerted efforts to offer PTA programs that benefit teachers, students and parents. Thanks to the energetic staff and principal of this great elementary school.

I have two kids that attend this school since kindergarten. I have enjoyed all their teachers. The principal is on the ball and extremely involved with the children and the day to day actives. I am truly blessed to have my children attend this school. This last year we have had a tremendous amount of parents support, even though it could always be more. The PTA seems to have a lot of activities throughout the year for parents and students to participate in. This school also has a wonderful after school YMCA program on its campus that is not only reasonable price but pack full of great age appropriate clubs for the kids to be involved in.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
