My daughter is in Kinder in the Sac State class with Ms.Aldrich and I absolutely love her teacher and the school! I started her out at Alice Berney which is a Waldorf inspired school but she wasnt being challenged enough so when CHA called and told me they had a spot for her I jumped on it. She started in late December not being able to read or write and by April she was reading at 1st grade level and has caught up to the rest of her class. Her math skills and reasoning skills are also well devloped. It has been such an amazing experience and I wish that Ms. Aldrich was her teacher forever! My daughter knows about universities and has even asked to do research with me about possible universities for her to attend when its time, between the support her father and I provide at home and the support at school she is exceling far beyond my expectations. Thank you CHA!

I have 4 children at this school, and I do love it. I have never met a pricipal that knows every single childs names, and knows them as people, not just a face in the crowd. One of my daughters is dyslexic. Thank you Mrs. Boyer for helping her, she couldn,t have done it wihout you. Ms. Tam! thank you for filling in the foundation of my daughters education and success in her life. The teachers here are ones you will never forget. The only thing I don't like about the school is that the lunch lady is on a power trip! and thinks she runs the school. I do love this school, it is awesome, and these children will go to college!

CHA didn't meet my expectations. The homework my son was sent home with was commonly littered with errors he was expected to learn specifically on the English portions. The homework often had missed punctuation and improper sentence structures more than anything. Worse than the homework, which was excessive (it was common to take my son 2 hours to complete it), was the billing. There is a clear racial bias against white children. My son came home with ruined shoes, stories of how he was punched in the stomach and called names. My son and I were often told that the billing child was under stress at home and that the school was aware of the children's behavior. They do not live up to their no bullying policy, I'm glad we left this school. My son was miserable. :(

CHA got bst teachers. My son's teacher took time to teach my son. He had troble learning at public school and never got help that he needed. Every since he change to this school, he learn so much and he made great progress. Principal is great too. School is not located to nice area and school is old but I feel safe. I am so greatful for teachers and principal at this school! I love CHA!

I thought this school would be great. I like the uniform policy, small class size, and thier interest in preparing the children for 'college'! This school is great for people who don't normally instill educational values and discipline at home. My child hasn't learned that much and the curriculum is too repetitive. They are not preparing them for college of the future, maybe the college of 10 years ago.

My son loves this school. The entire staff are dedicated to the growth of each student. Each day the Principal & Teachers instill the need to strive towards college. Classes are named after colleges instead of 2,3,4th etc. With the small student body it is easy to know staff and other parents. This is important to me. I think we will be apart of the CHA family for a while.

CHA is the best school I've ever been to. The teachers are great, and by the end of the year, the class feels like a family. The principle is strict, but he does what's right. It's small, but it's the best school for kids who want to grow in their knowledge.

I love this school. They have inspired my children to always do their best in not just homework but in life. They always come home feeling accomplished instead of discouraged. Great job CHA Staff!!!

This is the best school my grand-daughter has attended. She has made phenomenal growth in her academic achievement. The teachers are wonderful. They will find a way to work with each student to help him or her be successful. The school also offers an after school program which is excellent. I'm very grateful for the academic, social, and emotional support my grand-daughter has received from each adult at the school.

I LOVE this school & what it has done for my children. Both of my children were struggling in public school, not long after they were enrolled, they started showing vast improvements in there grades as well as their overall attitudes & selfesteem. Mr. Spencer is to be commended in his role as principal, he really cares for each individual child. He makes it a point to know each childs name as well as their parents. The school has a 'family' feel to it. My children couldnt be in a better school.

My child has attended CHA for approximately two years. I have been very pleased with the principal, Mr. Spenser and my child's teachers. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

There are not allowed a lot of areas for parents to voice their opinions at this institution. The school is open to hearing the positive but when valid issues of concern and safety are brought to the administration and teaching staff's attention then you find out how little the viewpoint of the parents is taken into consideration. It is very unfortunate.

My child just started this school about 2 weeks ago and she loves it! I love the small class size and the strong sense of family. The schools focus on academics and citizenship is remarkable. It offers the perks of a private school education without the cost.

I think Capitol Heights Academy is a great school. There is a sense of family at this small school, I feel that my kindergarten is safe at school. My son has a wonderful teacher, and he is so eager to learn. They have a wonderful merit system that encourages the students to do well. The students can earn 'Eagle Bucks' and they have an opportunity weekly, to spend their 'Eagle Bucks' at the Eagle Store. It's a great incentive! The principle, Mr. Spencer is very personable and knows each student by name. Mr. Spencer has daily morning briefings with the students and teachers parents are welcomed to stay and hear the announcements and reminders as well. I really appreciate the warmth and integrity of the school. The office personnel is friendly and professional also. I would like my son to attend up until the eight grade.

This is a great school with wonderful, caring and dedicated teachers. My children have advanced incredibly!

Posted January 12, 2006

The only thing I don't like about Capitol Heights is their grading system. Instead of the traditional letter grades for the Jr High School students, numbers are used which makes it difficult for me to see if my son is struggling w/a certain subject. Other than that I could not have made a better choice for my son. One of the things that impress me the most is the Mr Spencer, principal knows all of his students by name and is very active in and out of the office.

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.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

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.
