Fantastic school with an amazing PTA. My children are getting a great rounded education and Rancho Canada even has a very strong TLC program.
Great Teachers and Great Principal. Parents are kept informed via weekly phone or email msg. from Principal. Fun activities throughout the year for the kids and families. Parents are encouraged to help out in the classroom for Kindergarten and 1st graders. Good feedback from teachers at parent teacher conferences.
Rancho Canada is one AWESOME school! This is credited to some super fantastic teachers and parents who work together to make sure students get the best possible learning experience. We are a terrific elementary school.
This school is so wonderful ...my 6 year old has learned so much this year...she is ahead in everything and it all happened in the classroom...plus there are so many fun events for the parents......Thankyou to a great school
Our sons attend Rancho and we have been there for 4 years and it has been a great school. The staff is wonderful and they offer a wide variety of extra-curriculuar programs.
My daughter attended Rancho this past school year 07/08 for the first time. She transferred from a school in Texas. She was a 5th grader and I wasn't sure how she would do as she had been at the same school since she was in kindergarten. Well, she had a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Bagnall, who made school fun. They did fun stuff while learning and she had a great year thanks to this teacher. The PTA is strong and the funds raised are unbelieveable. I was rather concerned about the class size as she had 31 students in her class but parent helpers made it managable for the teacher. She also had a great year academically which was also another concern. I believe any child attending this school will receive a wonder education.
My daughter goes to this school and I must say that she was actually challenged here and that's what's made our time here so well spent. It's unfortunate that the education crisis hit us this year, but I'm confident that parents/teachers/students and administrators alike will be able to find a more reasonable solution and keep these hard working teachers and this great school district in tact.
My son used to go for their preschool connection pgm.It was a disaster.Teachers favoured some students over other. It was his first time in school and he was 3 1/2 when he joined.Teacher has only cpmplaints to share.He dreaded going their.I wasn't impressed by the preschool teachers, wouldn't recommend the school for sure.
It is a great school! The level of parent involvement is amazing. My experience with the teachers, principal, volunteers has been a positive one. I feel that their focus to get our children the best education possible is successful. My daughter has advanced a lot compared to other kids her age within different school districts.
I have not been overly impressed in the education my son is receiving from this school. Seems like they do not care if the child passes to the next grade as long as they get credit for the child being in the class.
