Both od my kids attended RES all the from keg to 6 th grade. The education they received was fantastic. The teachers are very knowledgable about the curriculum and they individualize for each student's needs.

This school has a positive approach to education. The principal has a prerecorded message she sends out frequently, keeping us updated on school events. The school actively encourages programs such as First In Math and asks for sponsors to help the underpriviledged pay so they can participate in those programs as well. This school has the most positive teachers I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

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.
