Santa Clara School API Scores Increase in 2009

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Wonderful news for the Santa Clara Unified School district as API scores have increased across the board on most elementary and middle schools for 2009. Impressively Bracher Elementary is now as high as Sutter, Ponderossa, and Braly. I am a proud Bracher Alum, and want to congratulate the teachers and staff as well as the parents on a great job.

Also Don Callejon the only k-8 school is over 800 for the first time.

Peterson middle school is continuing to improve as is Laurelwood which just surpassed 900. This is a wonderful trend that I hope will continue for the Santa Clara community and the quality of the student’s education. Santa Clara schools are certainly on their way up, lets hope this trend continues as people come to realize the quality of education that Santa Clara schools can offer.

The downstairs bath is the hall bath and the bath for the down stairs bedroom, which I consider to be the master bedroom. Other than that some of the decor is not fully updated but well finished.
