Milagro is exactly that a true Miracle in a community that traditionally lives with hardships and headaches. Without a doubt, a place where magic happens for all students!

Milagro is an amazing school that focuses on students abilities and strengths. The Milagro adminstration and staff are like my extended family more than my child's place to learn.

I like this school for my son because they care about my son's education and they're administration team is great. They give our kids the attention they need and I like that their staff is always attentive to my concerns.

Milagro is a wonderful school. My children have learned more in one year at Milagro, then they had learned in 3 years at their previous school they attended in the same area.

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.
