This school is by far, in my opinion, one of the best small schools offered at Kearny. I entered high school, not knowing where or what to do. Not only are the teachers and staff highly attentive, they cater to your educational needs. AVID class is absolutely amazing as it helped me towards college. I never knew the process about college and how to approach it but they taught me tremendous information I will continue to carry. I talked to other students from the other small schools and they did not experience the great help I and my fellow peers received. I thank them highly.

Both of my daughters attend Kearny School of International Business. They absolutely love the environment and I can't be more pleased with the principal and staff. They know every child by name, the parents and when there are problems they will call home. They is a lot of communication between the educators and the parents so we know what is expected of our children. They have a wonderful program that allows children to start college right after their Sophomore year and most students graduate in January of their Senior year so they can start full time college in the Spring semester.

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.

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.

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.

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 High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
