This is a wonderful school! Every year I have been impressed with the teacher's and the attentiveness they have given me as a parent with my child. The Principal of the school is very attentive to the needs of parents and the children, and is very communicative with all happening at the school. I am also impressed with the AIP and ESIS afterschool programs.

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.
