We feel very blessed that we are able to send our children to Lang Ranch. The principal, the teachers and staff, and the PTA are all excellent. It is an incredible learning environment.

We moved here specifically to start my daughter in Lang Ranch Elementary. Each day reinforces that we made the right decision. The parent involvement is amazing, the teachers and staff are wonderful and to top it off the school is beautiful.

We feel so privileged that our kids are able to attend Lang Ranch Elementary. We're now sending our second child through LRE and I can't say enough good things about this school, it's outstanding principal, teachers and staff, and the great PTA. In these difficult times for education count your blessings if your children are able to be Wranglers!

This is an amazing school! The teachers, support/office staff, and principal go so far above and beyond with their effort and caring towards our school and children. I currently have 1 in 2nd grade, 1 in 4th grade, and one who graduated last year. It has been an amazing 6 years and counting!

Lang Ranch is a wonderful school because the parents, teachers and principle remain involved and the campus is safe. Children are treated with respect and encouraged to participate in many activities.
—Submitted by a parent
My son will be graduating from Lang Ranch this year and I couldn't be happier with our experience. The teachers are engaged and seem very happy to be working there. They give attention to individual students like a private school would. Parents are very involved and there are many activities for families. I can't think of one thing I would change about the school!
—Submitted by a parent
We relocated to Lang Ranch just to be assured of getting into this incredible school. It has surpassed our expectations. Our children were in a private school they loved before we moved, but now say they are happier and more enthused about learning. Nice to know we don't have to pay tuition for that. We visited several neighborhood schools and this one stood out above the rest. The principal is extremely resourceful, well-respected by his staff, and gets the big picture. The stunning facilities are well-maintained too.

Mr. Baker, the principal is hard-working and involved. The majority of teachers are excellent and the staff is very efficient and friendly. I loved the academic emphasis of the school and the numerous social activities.

I'm the fortunate parent of a Lang Ranch student. We could not be happier with the education that our daughter is receiving. The principal, teachers and staff at Lang Ranch are second to none. The facility is beautiful. The overall atmosphere is stimulating, encouraging and nurturing. Parent involvement is relatively high. You would be hard pressed to find a better public school.
—Submitted by a parent
I have had two children attend this school, one is still attending. The principal will not tolerate any bullying at all. He is very concerned about that issue. The test scores are very high at our school. We have the best teachers in the Conejo Valley. Teachers would love to teach here because there are very few problem kids here. There are hardly any discipline issues. The parental involvement is very high. This is an affluent area so this is also a factor. There are quite a few extra curricular activites after school to choose from. This is as good as a private school. From a parent.
—Submitted by a parent
Without a doubt, an incredible school on all levels. From the the principals, teachers, and parents, to the academics, creativity and life skills that are taught! I often joke about having more kids just so they can have the education and experience my two kids had! I truly have been impressed!
—Submitted by a parent
Great elementrary school! The teachers are superior and the kids seem overall to be bright. Largest GATE population in the district. The teachers arre very open to communication with the parents, and there is much room for parent involvement both hands on in the classroom as well as in the workroom on special projects. You get to very mucvh be a part of your child's school experience, and it is welcomed, which is not the norm for a public school. The kids leave this school almost over-prepared for the challenges of middle school, and our kids excel on the standardized tests. This school is run like a tight ship - despite the huge student population, you never feel it and it is never crowded. My son has gone there for all 6 years and never once have we felt like he was just a number.
