Posted November 14, 2012

My kids (now 4th and 1st grade) transferred to Lassen View at the end of last year. We chose this school based on size, location and the fact that healthy eating and exercise is encouraged. So far I have been very happy with the school. The teachers have been great and the office staff is very helpful and nice. The principal seems to be hands on and my kids adore her. The class sizes are bigger than what I'm used to, but overall my kids are learning a lot and enjoy going to school. They have a great reading program that has even encouraged my 4th grade son, who had no interest in reading whatsoever, to willingly read for pleasure.

My daughter has been at Lassen View since kindergarten and I have been involved with the Parent Club (4yrs) until this year. She has this year and next and I knw she will and myself will miss the great staff and the loving place it is!

An excellent elementary school! Top notch teachers, all very concerned about their students. This school has a real family atmosphere. It is the only school I have ever seen where the staff room is welcoming and inviting for parents, staff and visitors. Everyone eats lunch at one table, and everyone is equally valued.

The parent involvement has been good all 3 years my son has attended Lassen view. Everyone has their own idea about how to discipline children. When the school elects a new parent to their council, the parent needs to be evaluated. Not everyone is able to decide what is 'acceptable' behavior. I feel like the disciplinary actions taken by parents and or volunteers should match the schools policies.

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.
