Teachers and Staff a veil themselves to listen to you and your concerns. I appreciate every day, Mr. Odell or teachers place my grandson in the car and wishing me a great afternoon. All Staff are Pleasent and very polite. The extra time to call, reminding you, and teacher will let you know when and what is needed to get child on track. The support is extremely valuable with PARENTS HELPING AND BEING INVOLVED. I'm very pleased of the music and Pe program. These are valuable to every student.

The teachers are truly dedicated to helping the children achieve their highest potential. I help out in my granddaughter's classroom and have been truly amazed at the care given to all those students by their teachers. I'd give 10 stars if I could!!

Both of my children have gone through Reese School and we have been very happy with their progress and the way teachers cared for their individual needs. We had one child in the Speech program and one in the GATE program. Each child was pushed to their level and came out loving learning. I cannot say enough about how caring the faculty is.

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.
