Ranchero Middle School

Kiki - Apr 25, 2012 Ranchero is riddled with gangs . My son keeps getting beat up as the school seems unable to maintain safety on the campus. More and more this schools moral is disappearing. My neighbor had to home school their child because the school could not stop the violence from escalating to such a degree that the child feared for her life. What is going on with this "school". I am going to complain to the school board about this horrible school.

I love this school! This is my last year attending Ranchero and I'm so sad to leave. The teachers are amazing and use to let you stay after school for tutoring, that is until the budget cuts.I have straight A's thanks to my great teachers.Ranchero has lots of clubs and sports.Oh, and Mrs Malone,Ms fouret, and Miss McPherson are the best!

The best thing this school has going for it and has had going for it in the past is good leadership. The demographics of the school create many challenges that aren't the fault of the teachers. Kids lacking discipline or strong values in the home are the minority but create the majority of the problems and take up the time of the staff and counsellors. There should be far less tolerance of bad behavior and they should be quicker to send them to another school where they can get more directed attention. It would give the teachers far more support to know they can actually control their classes with real consequences for the few who are truly disruptive and often rude, vulgar or even dangerous. It also sends a message to the parents to keep thier kids in line too.

RMS is a great school with caring teachers and staff. Due to budget constraints, there are always problems with offering all that our students need and deserve to help them succeed, but most of the staff will go out of their way to find a way, even dipping into their own salaries. Even with this, parents must be partners with their children's teachers. We can't do it alone. There are too many needs now with the demographics we deal with. The students with the most success have involved parents. At Ranchero, we have many great kids and involved parents. This is the key to being the best for the students.

Not helping the children, that need the most help. Teachers should teach, not expect the parents to do all the teaching after school. The homework is by far to extensive. We have to have family time with our children, for more than just school work.
