You are getting the best principal any school could ever have. How do I know this? Because it's our principal who is leaving us to help out your school. I hope you welcome him with open arms. He's the best! He brought great energy to our elementary school. Established great programs and positive incentives for the students. We are losing a great guy, but we'll be good. We're a strong school as it is. Good luck to you guys and congratulations too!

in my opinon, some teachers don't like to deal with certain children who don't behave in the way they expect but I believe It really depends upon the teachers approach at seeing each child as an individual human being and getting to know them by the uniqueness of each child because every child is different. So far my experiences with the teachers willingness to get to know the child individually and viewing them as a unique person has not been a problem. in the future, if a conflict I believe in changing the child's teacher for a teacher who us willing to take that extra step in helping that child succeed.

I rate this school very high, however, I am disappointed in their judgement for seeing their talented children. Although I'm going to be biased regarding my child, he is extremely intelligent and well received by both his peers and the faculty. He has been student of the month every year since being there and well known by 1st graders to 6th graders. I have a strong sense as to why he has been overlooked, however, I will continue to support the school and the teachers.

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.
