This is by far one of the most rudest staff I have ever met...In my years of dealing with people within the educational field. I wouldn't allow a stray dog to attend this school. The children are unrully and complaints fall a pond death ears... The staff is quick to tell you that they have no idea of what your talking or inquiring about...It's like they have all been programed to know nothing and be rude all at the same time. It appears as if their main focus is disciplinary not educating nor helping their students pass test. The school staff gets an F rating with dealing with interpersonal skill. They need vast improviment with their parent teacher staff relations. My personaly thoughts The whole staff needs an overhaul.............excluding the janitor that is he seem to be the only one on that campus who understood his job which is to be helpful and polite and by the way the restrooms are very clean and in order.

THis staff is truly dedicated to students. Their success is most important and every program the school has is about helping kids. I guess that's why they are getting such great scores and our kids are learning so much! Thank you, thank you thank you!

This is, without question, the best K-6 public school in Victorville; probably San Bernardino County. With very strong leadership, knowledgeable staff, and an emphasis on high academics, the school has made exceptional growth. The academics are high priority. This school provides a high quality education with a nice mixture of academics and extra curricular activities. Academic issues are identified early and are handled in a very professional manner. The entire Del Rey staff has a 'Whatever It Takes' attitude and makes learning fun. Keep it up!!

Wow! I am impressed with the dedication and determination of the staff at Del Rey. They are driven to make students succeed. My children have never been happier. They LOVE to go to Del Rey! Thanks to the hard work and leadrership at Del Rey, my children are at or above grade level in all academic areas.

This is the best school that my child has ever attended. The staff is dedicated to making every child sucessful in school. They offer several programs to ensure that students are at grade level or above. I also appreciate how they value every student for who they are, no matter what their background is!!!

I am not satisfied with this school at all. My child has only been in this school for three months, and I am now taking the steps to remove him from this school. They do not comunicate with the parents unless you specifically ask them to let you know of any problems with your child. You would do good to ask a lot of questions before enrolling your child.

I love the school a lot. The principal, teachers, and staff are very friendly. My children have improved a lot. Del Rey's new one focus are the children.I am a volunteer in the classroom and love to see how all the teachers work together. Thank You Del Rey.

I am the grandparent of a first and second grader who attend Del Rey Elementary. This school and the entire staff have displayed nothing but total professionalism in all areas. Every school will have their ups and downs but as parents we must stay involved and ask our students questions everyday on what they have learned and who they have played with that day to all those who are in the teaching field my hat goes off to you.

i have just recently transfered my grandchildren to del rey elementary for the dual emertion program which teaches spanish and english in all activites the homework comes home every week in both languages the program is from k-6th i have seen such an improvement in both children who are in k and 1st grade that any doughts have gone i had even concidered holding back my kindergarten student while at the other school. as for the staff from principle to proctors attending the rush of parents dropping students off in the parking area is smoothly ran we have only been at this school for one trimester and if things continue to make this grandma (from the old school) happy then to think what our future is going to have from these del rey students and not just mine all who have the opportunity to attend keep it up del rey.......

Good school,good effort by principal, however some of the upper grade teachers are very rude and not concerned with helping students improve academically especially the minority students.

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 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.
