I have had kids at Hawthorne for 7 years. I have come to appreciate and adore all the teachers and staff at Hawthorne. The teachers work hard to provide the best education that the students can have. With all the changes and added curriculum it seems that it's impossible to cover everything, but these kids are given the best that these teahers have

Hawthorne has it all! The largest group of the most fantastic teachers are all here, going the extra mile for every student! Hawthorne has an amazing staff along with a principal who cares enough to know every parent and student by name, and also enjoys interacting with students on campus. Hawthorne you rock!

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

The test results by subgroup show how the designated group of students is performing in comparison to the general population.

The API reflects year-over-year schools performance based on STAR test score results from spring 2012.

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.
