Posted October 22, 2008

I have delt with this school for two years now. I was disapointed the first and go figure, also the second year. I am willing to sacrafice my childs stability to transfer her mid-year I am so frustrated. Staff is unhelpfull, lazy and rude. problems do not get addressed and the facilities are dispicable. Education seems to be remedial. The only dim light in this dark environment is the principal. The good news is we can expect pupils attending to have no concept of higher education or bettering themselves so hopefully they will stay within this town and not move out.

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.
