I’ve been very impressed with the principal, the teachers, the parent involvement and all the wonderful “extras” they supply at Rancho above and beyond what the state funds (music, art, enrichment classes, etc.). In addition, it’s a beautiful campus surrounded by redwoods. We’ve been here three years and have been very pleased with the education, both academic and social, our girls are receiving.

I love this adorable school! The principal goes above and beyond for parents and students, and quite honestly sometimes I find myself wondering if there are actually 30 hours in her day instead of just 24. I always find a strong principal makes for a strong school experience -- so yay for us!I've had the opportunity to volunteer at lot during my children's stay and have been lucky enough to get to know many of the faculty and staff. Oh my gosh, I love them. I love them all so much. This is my youngest kiddo's last year at Rancho, so I am really trying to soak up these precious moments.If you are just starting at Rancho, lucky for you <3

I think that the Principal is fantastic and Rancho was lucky to get her. The school is not perfect but she has taken every issue and attacked it with thought, research, diligence and innovation. She is a remarkable leader and because of her the school is better than it was when we started. As in every place there are great teachers and some you'd like to avoid but overall our children have gotten a good education. The nice thing about this school is that it is large enough that there are students and parents with a large variety of interests. The school is very welcoming and open with parents offering assistance and the kids get the benefit of extra activities and after school enrichment because of that support. I think the "clique of parents" that ran the school is outdated because the volunteers at school seem very socially diverse. The school as a whole seems very committed to an environment of positive change and learning. Lastly, I will say is that this school unlike some others in the area, does not have an ethnically diverse population. That is just a factor of the area feeding it and is out of the control of the school.
