I hate to write this, but this school is not good for Special Needs students. You have to fight to get the I.E.P implemented with a known disability. It seems like this school reaction to all students is to mainstream them and not offer services. I have had some major issues with this site. On the positive, if you have a general education student there is a lot of support. They do have RTI groups, but it is not enough to understand all kids. My child has been lost and did suffer an injury on the site and I did not even get a phone call. I think the teachers do mean well, but do not understand disabilities as much as they should.

My kindergarten child has gone from just knowing the ABC's three short months ago, to sounding out and reading words by himself! I am very impressed with the teaching, and quality of people at this school!

My oldest child transferred to Kaseberg last year, mid year. While this is usually difficult on the child, we were very fortunate to have Mr. Barber as her 4th grade teacher. Mr. Barber helped make the transition a positive one. He was supportive and approachable and helped my daughter adjust to the move smoothly. This year my youngest will also be attending Kaseberg as a kindergartner and I am very excited to have Kaseberg as her first academic experience. The office staff are friendly and knowledgeable and although I have not met Ms. Quinlan, I know that if needed she would available at the drop of a hat. After dealing with other schools from Texas to California, I am very pleased with our experience so far at Kaseberg and look forward to many more great years.

As a parent of a 3rd grade student and an incoming Kindergartner, and as a high school teacher myself here in Roseville, I want to share with anyone taking the time to read this website how much I appreciate Kaseberg school. I have great admiration for what Principal Quinlan and her hard-working staff have accomplished at this true 'neighborhood school.' I get the sense of community at Kaseberg that reminds me of when I was a kid, and is not at all what I expected in Roseville, 2008. My family is in the process of moving out of our rental and into a new home. We are doing everything we can to ensure that we keep our students at Kaseberg. From academics and social events to a great diverse student body and neighborhood support, we look forward to many more great years at Kaseberg!

Our oldest child is in kindergarten at Kaseberg. The principal is wonderful...very involved and always visible/approachable. The school seems to be making positive strides and a real effort to be one of the better schools in the area. Parent involvement seems high in our daughter's class. And, we love it that most of the kids in her class live within a couple blocks of us. Feels like a nice close-knit community school.

We have had 3 children at Kaseberg starting in 2000. We have also had the pleasure of watching Kaseberg transform into a wonderful school with a fantastic principal who is 'in-tune' and a teaching and support staff that is fantastic. Each of our children have had different needs. Kaseberg has provided each one with the resources needed to help them succeed. I feel like the 'school community' is a family, and we are all part of it. We love Kaseberg. Thank you to all the wonderful staff, both teaching and support for all that you give our kids daily.

Parent of newly registered Kindergarteners (twins). Quick and easy registration. Friendly staff. Multiple-friendly school (they asked me if I wanted my twins kept together...rare for most schools). Principal was helpful in answering questions about the school and provided a school tour for parents (and kids were welcome too!).

I have had children at Kaseberg for the past eight years. I have been very happy with the education provided and the overall atmosphere at Kaseberg. My daughter has had a few special circumstances that have required some extra care from the staff and I received an excellent response and support from the teachers. Our family has had a great experience at Kaseberg and we still have quite a few more years there and are looking forward to it.

Kaseberg school is going in a fantastic direction! With construction of new classrooms for the upper grade students and renovation of older classrooms for the primary students, the learning environment is just great! The new multi-purpose room is an exciting addition. Mrs. Quinlan, the principal, is a solid leader and an effective communicator to students, teachers, and parents. As a teacher there, I find that we as a staff are extremely hard-working and collaborative. Kaseberg is a great place to be!

Posted June 19, 2003

I did have behavior problems with my son at Kasberg, and being a single mom I asked for a call from the principal on multiple occasions to set up a meeting with me to help find a solution for my sons behavior issues at school. I have never received a call. One time I was very obviously upset on the phone, still no call back. I understand the administration is busy but I think calling back concerned parents should be a higher priority for the principal.

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.
