I am very happy with the education my son is getting from his Kindergarden teacher (Mrs Pontius)
—Submitted by a parent


Posted June 4, 2008

I just finished my Student Teaching at Parklane and would rate it extremely high. Overall, the teachers and administration care tremendously for the students and parents of Parklane. The teachers are highly trained in a variety of methods to instruct our children and encourage lifeskills to fulfill the childs basic needs. It is K-3 which makes for a nice intimate setting where your kids can be kids and learn in a safe and positive environment. I would love to teach here again and would enroll my child immediately. This school is great!!! Teacher: Mr. Le Leaux

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.
