Like all public school students, our students take the standardized tests required by the California Department of Education. While we understand the importance of standardized testing in this era of No Child Left Behind, we do not explicitly teach to the tests. In addition to our general curriculum, our students are taught basic test-taking skills. As of 2014, our students in grades 3-8 participate in the Smarter Balanced Assessment System, an online testing system required in all California public schools.
