I attended this school as a child, and now have my child enrolled here as well. I was so surprised that at the first month of school my daughters teacher meet with me to express that my daughter was very advanced. Surprised because I thought it was only 1 month into school and she already knew the potential my child had. Extremely happy, great start to the next 5 years.

My kids have attended 4 different schools. Right now they attend Parkview. I can see the difference of how well they are improving. My kids teachers are very involved and iterested in not only my kids education, but all the students. The school invites all parents to get involved with the school to help our childrent have a better education. Therefore, I rate this school at 10+.

Parkview School provides a great program. Most of the teachers are extremely dedicated and work diligently to teach what is required by the state. Parents are involved and teachers and parents work together for a common goal.

I feel that this is one of the best schools around, not only because my kids attend here, but because I have worked at many other schools and see the difference. The teachers are very involved with the students and really show how much they care.

This school does not challenge the advanced students. There has been 3 out of 5 Teachers who didn't feel any need to meet with me because my daughter is a good student even though I felt certain grades and comments on her report card needed to be addressed. Principal offers little to no leadership qualities and poor communication.

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.
