We enjoyed our time with Miano. I think that as long as you are involved with your child, school is a wonderful experience. We always had good teachers. Unfortunately , there were times that there were not enough supplies and the transfer of information was lacking. Other than that, it was a nice school.

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

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.
