Tustin Ranch Elementary School

Absolutely love this school! My son is a kindergartner and his teacher Mrs. Gillispie is fantasic I can't believe how much my son has already learned. His reading skills has greatly improved. I try to volunteer in class as much as my job will allow it's great to be involved. I also attend every PTA meeting and it's great to get the kinder's involved in the activities. Mr. Jennings is awesome he's always involved in daily activities. Looking forward to the next 5 yrs.

I am extremely happy with this school. The principal Mr. Jennings is always walking the grounds and is always available and attentive to any questions or concerns I may have. The teachers are compassionate. The parents are always involved with homeroom parties and other fun activists.

We love Tustin Ranch Teachers and principle! My son is now finishing 2nd grade and his had the most amazing and caring teachers since Kindergarden. The Principle and teachers have always been very helpful whenever I had a situation with my son. My older son also went to TR and had the best experience! We are very lucky to have our son in this school!! Go Cool Cayotes

The past principal was not liked, hope the new one does better. Too much emphasis is placed on the state tests, and some teachers admit it.

My son has attended TR for the last 3 years. It is a great close-knit school. He has had wonderful teachers! He leaves next year for Pioneer, but my youngest will be attending around 2009.

This school is very intune with the kids needs and challenges the kids to keep them interested. My children have enjoyed the Jr. Great Books program and Meet the Masters. Teachers are very involved and available.

This was my child's first year at Tustin Ranch. I was quite pleased with the teacher and the caring environment. I do believe she is being challenged and motivated. The principal is full of energy and seems to enjoy the children.
