Benjamin Bubb Elementary School
I have 2 boys here at Bubb. My eldest son been at Bubb for 5 years and he's been in a GATES program since he was in 3rd grade. He learned a lot and that keeps him going. He is a Student council, and a Conflict Manager at school. The youngest boy I have is in 2nd grade now and he is doing really well in school. Next week he will be taking a California Standard Test. We really love this school and the boys love it too. They learned a lot from Math, Science, English, etc. I recommend this school to everybody. They have a well educated teachers and the office staff. They treat the students and parents like a family. Very nice school.
