This school has outstanding, amazing, wonderful teachers. I am a student who graduated 2010 and just would like to say that I am speechless to how Corvallis has helped me in so many ways. I am thankful to have gone to this school that has made me better prepared for the rigors of high school!

This year we have a new principal. Mr. Easton. He is from another NLMUSD middle school. We will be working hard to raise scores this year. We will need the help of all our parents by supporting students with opportunities to work at home in a quiet area, making sure they get plenty of sleep and nutrition. We have breakfast at the school so get them to school in time for it. We offer afterschool help, that's needed to get our students' grades back up to par. Please arrange for help at these times so they aren't left behind. When they get into trouble, help them make better decisions in the future. They don't come with a manual. They are still young adults under construction. I love teaching at Corvallis and I look forward to meeting you.

I'm a student at Corvallis Middle School, and I have to say that this is the best school I've ever been too.

Before I enrolled here in Corvallis,I thought that the BEST school that I have ever been to was South Ranchito Elementary School. But fortunately,Corvallis Middle School has proven me wrong.Even though if I have stayed here for only one year...THIS is the best school that I've ever been to!By the way,my name is Anne...and if it wasn't for Corvallis and all it's teachers,staff,and students...I wouldn't have had amazing friends and a very strong education!

I was a student at corvallis middle school last year and I have to say that I love it. I went there for three years and those were one of the best years of my life.There are a lot of things that students could do to get involved. When theres a problem the counselors take care of it. Because of this a lot of fights were stopped.The school has wonderful teachers. I was left in tears the last day of school I didn't want to move on to high school. when you go in the school you right away feel welcomed.Teachers do more than teach they become your family.

Since my daughter started at Corvallis I have seen and increase in the standards of the students, falcuty and school's campus. This year the PTA has had the wonderful support of our new principal Mr. Fraijo which has enabled the parents to participate more actively in the school and provide better resourses to our school, students and partents. I have truely enjoyed my experience at Corvallis and although my daughter will enter into High School next year, I will continue to be an active parent & community leader so that the children of this community will continue to improve in their academics and community involvement. We have a great bunch of kids and we have a terrific group of parents who truly care about the students and their educational needs. We must invest in our kids today and we will receive the benefits in the future. sincerely, L. Perri

I am a proud parent of a Corvallis student. The attention and the school education that my daughter has received is more that I and my child had expected. The daily homework that my daughter had contributed to exceptional grades and good test scores. I want to thank the teachers and staff for all of the valued time they take to improve the lives of the future generation!

My son came home today telling me the encouraging things Corvallis MS is doing to motivate them to do well on the Testing. He was motivated to try his best and that made me feel good. Thank You Corvallis!

My child has nothing but good things to say about Corvallis Middle School. We just moved here from Los Alisos because they have no academic foundation. My daughter thinks thats the best school ever.

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.

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.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
