this school has very bad and rude staff members should be undeer the district's investigation and should be prepared for any emergency case


Posted March 28, 2012

very disorganized school and very dirty campus. students get awards when they are far below grade level and people go around patting each other on the back as if they're making some great strides.

My daughter attends this school and is in special education for autism. I love her teacher and i have had the best success since moving her there. I can't speak to the general education teachers. The "recent 2011-2012" office staff is very rude and have no patience or social skills to be dealing with children.

My son unfortunately attends this school. The office and yard staff is rude with no repercussions for their behavior. Whether in person or over the phone, I have always encountered unprofessional and unfriendly office staff. Unfortunately, due to our proximity to the school we are stuck here until the school year ends.

This school is by beyond a horrible school. The teachers simply do not have the patience to sit with students and help them out and accommodate them after school or before for extra help. They offer no programs to help the kids in need. The percentage of the kids who attend this school are bully's or come from families who just dont care enough to be strict on their children. My kid has been bullied here several times and it seems like nothing is done. Kindergarten children are going around cussing and it just seems like nobody cares. My kid has had maybe 1 good teacher all the time he's been there so therefore I pulled him out of that school and into another one. I do not recommend this school to ANYONE.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

The test results by subgroup show how the designated group of students is performing in comparison to the general population.

The API reflects year-over-year schools performance based on STAR test score results from spring 2012.

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.
