Posted October 12, 2010

the teachers and the programs are great!


Posted April 29, 2010

It is not a good school. There is too much bullying and too few consequences and too much inconsistency. Academics is especially inconsistent and occasionally 'dumbed down.'

This is the first year my two boys are attending this school and I am pleased to say that I am happy with their outcome compared to where they were going to school. I feel that parking issues need to be addressed as parents feel free to park anywhere they like including behind you so you are unable to leave. I love the principal participation in this school I feel that it is very important. It also offers many extra tutorial programs for the children. I also wish they would be stricter on children bullying other children as this affects their learning also.

We are new to the area and were a little surprised to find that the neighborhood we'd bought our home in, was, well, not as nice as we first thought. The school is only two blocks from our home, which is nice. Our daughter is in kindergarten and her teacher is excellent: she has done extremely well there. The principal, who is apparently a new one to this school, is very personable and seems very interested in improving the school and appears to be very hardworking. However, the school food is terrible and not at all nutritious and high in sugar content: it does nothing other than fill bellies. What I mean is it does nothing to teach them the concept of a healthy balanced diet. The kids in general are roudy and seem very undisciplined, and the whole school in general seems to be 'ghetto.'

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.
