My child attended this school and we had a fairly good experience. The principal we started with was not great, but the new principal has been an upgrade.Our kid is has an IEP and we have had mostly good experiences with their team and both special education department leads.I see that this school scores pretty low on this website, and I can't speak for the test scores and things of that nature, but it has been a pretty safe school for us and our child seemed to have liked it. At the very least, you could definitely do worse in WCCUSD.
