This school is great and they also have a great support network for each student. They have a good program called CORAL that focuses in literacy and helps with homework.

This school has many after school activities including drama club. They also have very good academic programs. My child has learned so much through Gate and Student Council. In the programs, my child was able to really take control of what was to be done. Her leadership skills improved greatly. Other schools in the area can't really compare to this one. The school is new and the teachers are wonderful. When school lets out, most of the teachers are outside waiting with the students so they are sure to be safe.

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.
