Mrs Dyer was a great teacher.I have to agree with the other parent. She worked so well with them on an individual basis. As a group she had them doing group work and had them teach each other how to work together.

Overall the curriculum at this school is average and on par with state standards. There are not as many extracurricular activities as one would like to see but there are the normal open house and back to school nights. Parent involvement is very low at this school.

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.
