Posted February 13, 2013

My son has gone to Boyd for two years, since there he has went from a A-B student to a D-F student. I find that the cirriculum they teach to be substandard, they brush over topics and I have found that teachers favor subjects the like and ignor others. Upon enterting the school I did state my son have trouble talking and turning in assignments on time, both his teachers and the principal said they would give out progress reports and be easy to get ahold of. They were not and I was not informed of his failing classes until I confronted his teachers when he kept saying he never had homework. I find there is no discipline and students that have been there since Kindegarden are treated with high favoritism as well as students related to staff. They are not willing to work with parents and often the teachers will inform parents on how their child should be disciplined. I found my whole experience and my sons' to be grating and very irresponsible.

The duty staff and cafeteria staff are such rude people. This school needs lots of improvement. My son's Kindergardan teacher is no good. the only staff that is nice is the office staff but other then that needs lots of improvment with staff's attitude.

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.
