Lomarena Elementary School
My children have had a wonderful experince at this school - great teachers and many opportunities for extra-curricular activities.
The AYP is a false & forced measure... a school that is already at peak levels of performance does not have as much room for growth as a school at lower levels. Teaching to the test has left more behind since the "NCLB" program was implemented. My children have learned how to learn both at home & at school... test taking is a part of that process, but NOT the only, nor the most important, part.
