This school is excellent. It's amazing how the principal and teachers do it. I am so happy I put my child in Badillo and not another public school in the Charter Oak District. Although I wouldn't have 'hand-picked' their new principal. My daughter has attended Badillo since first grade. She has blossomed into a third grader who is reading high school level! She adores her teachers,and the faculty and effort the staff puts into these young minds is a miracle. A+ for them! My daughter also includes daycare in her day,which is also wonderful. PTA is amazing. Keep Up The Good Work Panthers!!!

Parent involvement high, great teachers. My daughter in is second grade and started at badillo in Kindergarten. Each teacher has been great and asked a lot of her each year. I find that she is well prepared for her grade level.

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.
