Our school uses Common Core adopted curriculum in both English-language arts and math. The Common Core standards were developed through a national movement to establish a consistent and clear set of education standards for students in the United States. These learning goals help to ensure that all students meet college and career readiness standards and are prepared to succeed in a global economy. They provide a rigorous content and application of higher knowledge thinking. Teachers are also using the Next Generation Science Standards and beginning to transition to the new California adopted Social Studies Framework.

Diamond View School’s number one priority is to provide a safe learning environment for student growth and achievement. High expectations and rules of conduct are clearly communicated to all students and are consistently enforced. Students and staff show respect to one another and a community of academic achievement and good citizenship is achieved. We always encourage parents to partner in their child’s education and welcome participation in school activities. This year we have adopted the YOUTH POSTIVE program, the program helps support student acquire skills to reinforce good decision making skills, emotional management, and communication skills.  

We are proud to offer a comprehensive middle school experience. Along with the core instruction our students attend Science, Social Studies and PE periods daily. Students have access to state of the art technology including computer labs and chrome books, library and other support services and designated technology skills instruction. As we look to the 2017-18 school year we are excited to offer some structured electives where students rotate through some extra classes such as Spanish, art, STEM based math and science as well as more during their split lunch period. We encourage all students to participate in the Extended Learning Program, where students can receive extra academic support and help with homework.

Diamond View School has a school wide student council program with elected officers and representatives from each grade level. These student leaders help facilitate many extra-curricular activities including rallies, dances, merit shop, art club, debate, and book club. We offer many after school activities including Drill Team. Boy’s and Girl’s Basketball, Girl’s Volleyball, Cross Country, Track, School Newspaper, GATE, Drama Club, Yearbook, Geography Bowl, and Spelling Bee.

At Diamond View School we seek to support all learners in a safe and supportive environment. We have Panther Pride!
