Pulled my children out of this school, there are only a few teachers remaining there who are there for the kids. There is virtually no discipline, and the kids have learned that they can get away with just about anything. Almost all of the programs that made this school great years ago are gone or so poorly run that they are pointless. The morale overall with the staff is heartbreaking, you can tell most of them don't like working there anymore. The district needs to get their act together and try to salvage this once great school.

Mrs. Calvo-Roth is an amazing teacher! I'm glad you had a chance to experience our school. We have large student enrollment for a school designed for only about 500. With over 100 staff members and 850 students. We are working on a future parking lot for teachers that will free up some space in the parking lot for our parents. We do our very best to ensure that Eagle Ranch is the best place to educate your child.

Special Day class with Mrs. Calvo-Roth was a life changer for our son. He loved going to school everyday when he attended. Parking is terrible though, even 30 mins early.

the school is AWESOME but you have to get there early because the principal directs traffic and boy she messes up the flow and there is gridlock like rush hour in downtown la ...well i say if she leaves her coach purse in her office and take her tall heels off and puts tennis shoes on she would do a way better job !!!

This is a great school with a caring determined principal and highly qualified sweet teachers. They also have an art program, after school sports, and an outstanding PTA team.

I love Eagle Ranch Elementary! My son is going into the 3rd grade & has had excellent teachers every year! He has done extremely well & all of his teachers have truly cared about him. My daughter is getting ready to start Kindergarten this year & is very excited. I volunteer a lot & stay very involed. The school encourages parents to volunteer & I have always felt very comfortable on the campus. The office & support staff are exceptional as well! Eagle Ranch is truly a terrific place for kids!

I have two kids at Eagle Ranch, and overall, have been quite pleased. We've had outstanding teachers, and my kids learn a lot and have achieved excellent grades/test scores, although we haven't been as happy with 6th grade this year. The current principal has made several positive changes and it's obvious she is very involved and cares about what happens at her school. The ladies in the office are awesome, too. The one downside would be that there are not very many after-school programs.

We transferred our son from MK Prep to Eagle Ranch because of the excessive bullying at MK. It was one of the best decisions we ever made!He has not been bullied once,has developed a close-nit group of friends, and has the best teacher in the world.At Eagle Ranch the kids really do come first.

Great school, great teachers, my daughter went K-5th, and my son is going into 3rd. The principals are great! The actual district is a thumbs down--they're not concerned with students or teachers; however, Eagle Ranch works through it and they're great! Extracurricular activities are basketball and chess club.

I do not like the overlap of the afternoon kindergarten classes with the morning shift. The children in the afternoon are being cheated out of valuable instructional time everyday by 30 minutes times 5 days a week that is almost the equivalent of 1 day of instruction. This needs to stop. Stop cheating our kids and put them first like your motto say 'Where kids come first.'

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
