I have a first grader and a kindergartener attending this school. We couldn't be happier. The schools environment is friendly, open and encouraging of all kids to strive to do their best. We love the Montessori environment, love the staff, love the parents and love that our kids are excited to go to school every day. My first grader has some learning disabilities that this campus staff discovered and we are taking steps to help with. If you really want a community feel for your childs education, I highly recommend this school. I also love that the curriculum isn't based solely on what is going to be on the standardized tests, there is a lot more to educating children than passing a test. This school strives to acheive a well-rounded student, with leadership skills, public speaking skills, time management skills, and so much more.

I have a 2nd grader and a kindergartener at ACAII and have had a very good experience. The Montessori style of education allows the children to work within their own abilities. My daughter is working a full grade ahead and striving and my son is enjoying a more hands-on approach in kindergarten...something he needs. As far as testing goes, the students do not 'pre-test'. They just take the tests with the knowledge they've obtained in class...as it should be. They enjoy a wide variety of learning experiences and my kids love it. You'll get the same issues as with any school, but because the parents are so involved I think it makes a huge difference.

Outstanding teachers, involved parents and kids that like going to school. We couldn't ask for a better environment for our child.

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.
