Posted June 10, 2012

My daughter attended this school for part of 1st grade and all of 2nd grade. In that time, her math abilities and test scores suffered greatly. She arrived at Cobblestone testing above average in math. I pulled her out of Cobblestone after her math testing scores fell below average. She had two teachers for 2nd grade, both who were pregnant and covered each others maternity leave. One worked M-W and during the others leave, the second worked R-F and during the others maternity leave. There was no consistency for the students whatsoever. It doesn't matter how good either of the teachers were, if the isn't consistency or good communication it just doesn't work. I pulled my daughter from this school and enrolled her in another district....best educational decision I have made. I also started my younger daughter in the transfer district as well and we couldn't be happier. I DO NOT RECOMMEND the Plumas Lake School District to ANYONE.

Great school with caring teachers. We moved to Cobblestone from Rio Del Oro and love the atmosphere and attitude. The principal listens to the students and truly cares. The teachers are firm but fair and care about each and every student. This learning envirnment couldn't be better.

We have loved this school and have enjoyed very thorough and timely communication from all of our teachers. They were willing to work with us to meet the needs of my daughter, who is advanced in some areas and needed special attention to keep her from being bored. The PTO hosts several events each year, and so far they have all been great. I know, as a new school, the parent involvement was slow to start out, but this year just about everyone I know is either on the PTO, or volunteers at the events or in the classrooms when they can. This school seems to get better every year we are here.

It is a great school with a lovely campus, caring teachers and staff. They go the extra mile to help children and there are lots of added help if needed. A very active PTO keeps the year interesting and fun.

I am very unimpressed by this school. I feel like it is frowned upon to have parent involvement in the classroom and I feel the teachers are not interested in having a relationship with the parent and do not communicate about issues that may arise. I am disappointed in this school on many levels and almost feel like this school year has been a step back for my children and they will be ill-prepared for the next grade level.

My daughters had a wonderful experience at Cobblestone. The teachers, staff and principal were all very caring and professional. They offer a lot of social activities for the children and make learning fun. My kids are above grade average thanks to the learning environment that Cobblestone offers.

My son has had the best school experience since staring at Cobblestone last year. I have always found the staff and administration to be very helpful. For a new school I felt they have gone above and beyond!!!

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.
