Tulita School is best characterized by our welcoming, family-like atmosphere. We have high expectations for student learning and have posted double digit gains for the past three years on the California STAR test. Tulita is well above the state goal of 800 API with an API score of 860. Our active PTA has provided computers, televisions, DVD players, playground equipment and hosts a number of family nights throughout the year. PTA sponsored a mass tree planting on Earth Day and added eighteen trees to our newly renovated school. Our goal is for every child to learn and grow both academically and socially. We were honored with a 2007 SPARC award from the Los Angeles County Office of Education for our exemplary student support program. Tulita cares about kids.
Tulita Elementary feels like a family! We're a smaller school, but everyone, parents and teachers alike, pitches in - and our children greatly benefit!
The principal seems to be running a fairly good school system given the hardships of the current economy but some of the troubles of the past continue. As a working parent it is hard to find ways to become involved in, or even knowledgeable about, the classroom activities and goals. From what we can tell the teaching staff approaches the curriculum in individualized ways, which can be a strength, but sometimes the gap in education delivered in the same gradelevel can be scary. The PTA is hard to get involved in due to lack of information on meeting contents and objectives. The environment seems friendly and safe. The support for special needs is good given budget constraints.
