School has good teachers like Ms.Rameriz, Ms.Patner.... They are very dedicated teachers and they bring out very good morals and profiency towards students academic growth. Prinicpal is new and she is OK. Parent involvement in doing additional things for kids education or school growth is average and OK. I would recomend this school as it has good disicpline, teachers, morals, principal, class rooms and best of all it really does carry on Panther Pride. GO PANTHERS GO!

I trust the school for the education of my grandkids. I have seen their program that benefits them very well. I have two grandkids that have been schooled since their kindergarten. One is now on his 3rd grade & the 2nd one went to 7th grade.


Posted November 16, 2008

The standards are quite low in this school - especially 2nd grades. The teachers just want to do the min possible everyday. The principal could not care less.
—Submitted by a student


Posted May 24, 2008

The teachers and the principal rely to a large extent on the parents to teach the students. The education that the school provides on its own is below standard.

Our son joined here for his 3rd Grade and now is ready to go to his 5th Grade.There were some issues on bullying during the begining of his 4th grade. It was handled well by the principal.

* Quality of academic programs * Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities * Level of parent involvement: All the above are good in this school
—Submitted by a parent


Posted September 24, 2005

This is a great school with dedicated, innovative teachers. It has an active PTA, which means funding for things like the library, classroom supplies, fieldtrips, etc. The staff work hard at teaching respect and responsibility as well as the other 'three r's'. One unusual practice is that many teachers 'loop up' with their students for at least one grade.

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.
