I am so proud about my relationship with all my teachers, they are like a bigger family to me. I was unwillingly pulled out of the high school by my parents due to family traveling amount. The teachers argued for my case so that I could stay, but it wasn't enough to convince them. I am very welcome and loved when I come to visit, and help out. I am always asked and told that I need to come back and am misses. Even as one of the higher educated ones at the school, everyone knows me and are all very friendly. It is nice to leave and come back after so long and everyone still knows my name.

I have two son's who attend this school. The teachers are concerned about the well being of the students; not only academically but in their activities as well. We, our entire family, loves California City High School.

The kids are well behaved, the parents are concerned, and the staff is hard working. The leadership has a vision and the district is committed to our improvement.

A good school that is just starting out. The student body is small and the students seem to be able to intermingle well together. Could use some 'new blood' brought into the school with fresh new ideals but overall the instruction is pretty decent. As a parent I like the fact that if a child is involved with an extracurricular activity they are required to not only keep up a certain grade point average, but they are required to also attend mandatory after school tutoring. It shows that the student's performances are more important then how they play a sport.

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.

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.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

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.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
