School is what you make of it, so blaming schools for failure is not my thing. i'm very impressed with the leadership of these teachers and staff, and although some are better than others, so far the school has come through and offered additional services whenever i need help. Recently, they ended the problem of parents who stop in front of the school to pick up! Now if we can only teach crosswalk safety, I'd be pleased. Read less

I feel like she is truly more involved with the students and campus, and I can see a difference in the school's staff! There was racial violence going on, but it has declined tremendously! Read less

* In 2008-2009 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.
