I love this school! The staff is great and very involved with the students. My son is an excellent reader all thanks to the school and their way of educating the children.

My four year old son who has DS goes here and I LOVE the teachers and staff at the school. They are all very nice, knowledgeable, helpful, and caring. Especially with the special needs kids. I would recommend this school to everyone who has a child, especially those with special needs.

I was new to the area and very hesitant about putting my kids in a school i knew nothing about. However, after talking to different teachers at several different schools, I honestly felt that the teachers at Diamond Springs had a better understanding of the children they were involved with. After one day my kids were excited to go back and learn more!!

I was a very reluctant parent and felt very good about this school. My daughter is doing excellent. The teachers and administration are wonderful. I would strongly recommend this school.

About the tests

The 2009-2010 ratings are based on passing rates on tests taken during the 2008-2009 school year or on overall achievement during the three most recent years. Schools are identified as either Fully Accredited, Accredited with Warning, Conditionally Accredited or Accreditation Denied.
