I had many problems at this school. I agree w/ the 1 posting about avoiding this school like the plague. some of the staff are rude. Just be aware. If your child has special needs be careful of that too.

My family moved to beaumont for a small town living, i was excited about my children attending three rings ranch school. i have been very disappointed and let down by the quality of education received at this school. my older son entered in the fifth grade and had a teacher who had no skills in dealing with children and parents, the material was not at all challenging or consistent. my second son entered the school the next year and had a wonderful teacher but struggled, i believe his problems were not addressed and the concerns of his parents were not heard, he was pushed through to the next grade where he ended up being retained. the teacher was very rude,unwilling to work with the parents and student and seemed inexperienced. my son repeated a grade and the next year he was doing fantastic even with the fact that his teacher was never at work. he had a sub four out of five days a week. the principle may have been a good teacher but lacks the skills to be a good leader, the staff is also unprofessional and rude when you call or come in to the office. several concerns were brought to her attention and the buck was passed. if you can avoid this school do it.

I am disappointed with the level of rigor at the school. Teachers have low expectations for the students academically and high expectations behaviorally. The level of professionalism among staff members could improve. Teachers do not teach to all learning styles and have difficulty differentiating instruction. More meaningful instructional activities are desired. Coloring a worksheet should not constitute Art.

My son came from being in a fantastic private school to 1st grade at Three Rings. I was very nervous about attending a larger school (for us) and being in public school. after a year at the school I can say that we are very fortunate to have my son at the school. We were blessed to have Mrs. Earl as his teacher. She was involved, caring, fun and determined to provide a great learning experience for the children. Mrs. Perry, the principal seems to provide good leadership and the kids really like her.

I had my kids at a private school locally and had to change over to public schools because of the economy, I couldn't be happier! The staff is great! Mrs. Perry is great and when my one child was going through a tough time, they worked with him and helped out so much! Thanks Mrs. Dehuff and Mrs. Perry!

Three Rings Ranch is a great school that lets kids choose the path of learning they want to go down. The parents, teachers, aids, principles are all great. The rules are pretty strict, but just enough for kids to be able to have fun and be safe. It is a great school through and through.

Ok for a small town school. School has a lot of upward movement to go to make the grade. Lack of following state guidelines is a problem but as with all, will improve with parent complaints.

This was the best school my son attended. He was in Special Education and the teacher was way above average, she was informed, competent, and loving. My son was able to participate in band as well as other school activities.

It's a brand new school which is nice, but I think it has room for improvement which will happen over time. The principle is wonderful and cares about her kids!

I can't think of a better school for our daughter. What a wonderful caring staff. Any child would be lucky to attend this school. Mrs. Perry, Mr. Mitchell, and Mrs. Kane are fantastic.

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.
