Reche Canyon Elementary School

My rating is based for Colton schools--they don't set the bar very high though, we've check all of them out since we have moved often around the area. For the most part, most teachers are good but there are a handful that seem pretty unmotivated or just plainly fed up with the system. However we really liked Mrs. Coffey, she keeps you informed, is academically challenging and really enjoys her students no matter how difficult the economy or their pay is. The other teachers could learn a lot from her. Her class is also a GATE class, so if your child isn't in GATE, he will have a challenge, however he will also probably be learning more than the other students in other classes. Mrs Coffey whipped both my boys into shape, and the only one that wasn't in her class, is like the teachers he had, unmotivated!!

Reche Canyon is the best elementary school in the Colton School District. The Principal Mrs Mumper trully cares about the kids and all the staff. she brings certificated (teachers) classified (kitchen staff, office staff, etc) and management together. this is not easy to do. moreover the parent participation is great. it is a small school located in a beautiful canyon. your child would be treated well by all staff and more importantly will excel. so if you get an opportunity to have your child transfer do it it will be the best thing you could do for your child.

Excellent school. 4 of my children attended Reche Canyon, 5 of my grandchildren and 1 neice attended Reche Canyon. A very proactive administgration, teachers and staff create an excellent learning environment. My children and grandchildren all cherished the learning experience they had at Reche Canyon.

It's been a month we move to Texas due to my husband job relocation and we miss Reche Canyon already... I am shock to see that the curriculum in here is so far behind than Reche Canyon...The curriculum & the homework at my son's new school is way too easy for him. I'm very dissapointed with my son's new school (Garner Elementary). I wish I could find school as best as Reche Canyon in here...Reche Canyon is the best ! *Joseph's Mom*

My daughter was a new student this year and this school is wonderful. She had an easy transition and her teacher (Mrs. Chapman) is fantastic.

I have 3 kids in this school....one in kinder, first, and second grade. I do have to echo the sentiments about Mrs. Preciado.....we LOVE her. I am hoping to get my daughter switched to her class this year (my son had her last year). Mrs. Mumper is very involved, and cares more about her students then she does about the $$$$. The level of communication with the teachers is great, the parent involvement is very high, and there is a great community feeling there that you don't get from other area schools.

My daughter just graduated Kindergarten, and her teacher was amazing. She transferred to Reche Canyon after 2 weeks of attending another school because it was over-crowded. And it was a blessing in disguise - she was nervous her first day, and by the second day she was ready to shine. Mrs. Preciado is one of many great teachers at this school - the principal is also amazing. I would rate this school 110%!!! I even signed an inter-district transfer, because I prefer this school over Terrace View. (The teachers/students left a better impression at Reche Canyon rather than Terrace View).

Very good teachers,academic programs adequate. Extracurricular activities fair. After school care program outrageously expensive, ripping off the state and work parents.
