Teachers at Gilroy's 1-year-old charter school are “thrilled,” “proud” and “validated” after learning their second-grade students received the highest projected Academic Performance Index score for an elementary school in the history of the Gilroy Unified School District.

At this time, we’re housing our children in school buildings where their own parents attended classes 30 or 40 years ago.

Treviño is now the director of undergraduate admissions for the University of California system.
