There are no after schools programs for special ed children. Some teachers do not seem to be interested in giving the time to special needs children. Parents are told that they need an appointment to view the classroom, and then the time to view is limited.

Nice K thru 6 school... new facilities... solid music program... nice bookstore... limited PTA participation by parents... breakfast and lunch programs, as well as afterschool programs, are available. Teachers are willing to sit down and talk with one or both parents during Parent Teacher conferences. Special Speech Program are available, after much paperwork gets done. Book Fairs and Movie Nights are common (monthly) occurances. Safety gets highest ratings... hand-out fliers for local Little League needed Assistant Superintendent's approval before going out in their weekly informational packets to parents. Just wish more parents made the time to participate in the PTA (US$10 per parent per year). Finally, T-shirts and sweatshirts for the Ansel Adams 'Cubs' (with a logo) are available at a reasonable cost for students to especially show school spirit by wearing them on Fridays. My Parental overall ranking 4 1/2 out of 5 Stars.

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.
