Cactus has a wonderful Principal and she has done wonders at this school. She uses the term proactive as well as her faculty, and she walks the talk. Her first priority when she came to this school was creating a safe and orderly learning environment for the students. She's accomplished that. Next the administration is working on parent involvement She has and is accomplishing that by welcoming parents on campus with morning and evening coffee and making time to interact with parents herself and have an open forum about school and community issues. To boost student success they've established a homework afterschool detention and they have a wonderful phone system that lets parents know the same day if the student has detention, if they went to it, it also issues morning wake up calls for students that are continually tardy and gives school and community information to parents. Great job Cactus!

I just moved here from L.A. and I am impresssed so far. The staff is very helpful and informative! Lots of parent involvment and after school activities! My daughter had no trouble fitting right in because if there roundup they had before school started where she walked the campus and got her books, found her class,bathrooms,cafeteria,etc. so she didnt feel out of sorts the first day of 6th grade! So far its the beginingo of the school year and im so impressed.

I think this is a very educated school with very wonderful teachers and lots of athletic programs. But the dress-code is not very well it needs to be improved and not too strict.

Excellent school with excellent programs. Children are challenged. This school is rated a highly performing school by the state department. Parents are very actively involved and the school welcomes parents onto the campus. Art, music, PE, library and computer instruction is offered and students really benefit from the programs. Tutoring and assistance is offered for struggling students. This is a great school!
