- I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!!! It's my last year here and I want there to be sixth grade here!! It is secure. Nobody can enter if you're not a parent or some your parents agreed on who could visit you. The principal is great! We were just awarded as a 'California Distinguished School 2010.' We also just got awarded with the remodel of a new library by Target and Heart of America. We also got 821 on our API. They have a 5th Grade Camp Campbell Outdoor Science School. I recommend this for a GOOD student.
