I once went to Mariposa, it was for my fifth grade year. I really liked going there and they have great teachers and staff. However, when I was there I was bullied because I would hang out with a lot of guys. Teachers did help but there help didn't do much. I did learn a lot about actions there. I still loved Mariposa it will always be one of my favorite schools that I have gone to.


Posted March 29, 2009

Mariposa is a school with lots of potential. The teachers all seem to be dedicated and go out of their way to help the kids reach their goals. I think one of the reasons Mariposa is underperforming is because of the lack of parent involvment and lack of english language skills by the kids.

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.
