Great school!! Teachers and staff really care about the students! My child is motivated and loves going to school!
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 17, 2012

I love the school!!!! And my son LOVES the school even more.The principal is amazing. He gives the parents many different opportunities to be involved in supporting our student learning. Meetings held once a month "coffee with the principal" are a great way to be informed of everything that is going on at school. His dedication and encouragement is making Corona a GREAT school. The teachers are WONDERFUL! They work hard and are very dedicated. There is high parent involvement and the staff is awesome. my child has the opportunity to attend a "gifted"charter school, but he is doing so well here and is continuing to succeed and grow academically that i will not even consider to move him. CORONA is great for all students!!!!

My son is attending this school and i just love the way the staff is, we teach him at home but since he started school we notice a big improvement in his education. The staff is exceptional, the nurses are a big help...Thank You to all of you

My children are currently attending this school and I am impressed with all the positive changes that have been taking place. I don't like the uniforms! I think we should have the right to chose if we want our children to wear them.

From experience, this school successfully prepared my two kids academically, for Jr. High and High School. They also enjoyed sports programs.

Posted February 18, 2004

At the beginning of the school year I did have misgivings about the recent change in staff. After observing and dealing with the school many times though the first part of the year I must say I am very happy with the over all effort that is going towards the children and their goals. The staff is going that extra mile for the kids and I think in the near future it will show.

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.
