Loved this school...when Mr. Owen was still the principal(: Teachers are great! But now with the new principal...Her focus is on herself, and how the school will look good on the outside rather than why the kids are there in the first place! I think she in only here to ruin May Ranch ES!

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.
