I am a parent and a retired teacher. Of all the classrooms I have been in at Earl Warren I have always seen teachers who are professional, love their jobs, and enjoy their students providing quality academic programs. The principal knows each student by name and works with students, teachers and parents in a professional and carrying manner. As a parent I would like to see more parents involved in the classrooms and with the programs provided for the students.

I just have to sure what happen with my son.he was in the special day class, his teacher but him down made him feel so bad that he cried, told him lot of thing that he would never be in live and how we could never be able to give him his dreams.what was also so bad is that the other teacher in that class never said any thing to the head teach she also just let it happen.so i strongly suggest that if you have kid or chose this special day class. that you sit with your child daily and ask how their day was and how the teacher was with the class. I have moved my son and his grades have gone up ,he love going to school know. the teacher do made or brake your kids!!!!!

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.
