I went to this school from kindergarten to 6th grade, i love this school, the teachers and the people there, i graduated from high school, UCLA and am currently in med school :))


Posted February 9, 2011

Some of the teachers are great and they do care about the children as their own. But the new principal is another story. My daughter is in one of the kidergarten classes. This is her first year in school and she was very excited to start, but she is now hates going to school because of one of the boys in her class who keeps bullying her and others in the class. I have taken this matter to the teacher and the principal, but they have taken some minor measures by putting this boy in time out, sending him to the principal's office, and sending him to a behavior class for an hour. I am going to the district to complain.

Great school. The teachers care and do really care about your childs progress! Also they are really good about not releasing your child not just to anyone. They make sure they 'only' release your children to the people on the emergency card!

This school s awesome. My three daughters love their teachers and cant wait to go to school each day. They have after school tutoring programs and the PTA does an excellent job. We originally lived in the district then moved to Anaheim but decided to keep our kids in this school because it is so great.

I think this school is well organized and has fun programs, assemblies, and other fun activities for the children. I think the teachers are great even though i haven't met all of them yet. The school is very safe too. they really want the kids to be safe. It is also in a great area, has a wonderful PTA group and is very clean. They also do a lot of exercise, especially the lucky 5th graders who have a fitness test. Wonderful school, I would recomend it to any person who wants to have their child safe.

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.
