Rancho-Starbuck Intermediate School

My son is doing very well at Rancho and he loves the staff there. We are really impressed with the school overall.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! My son was challenged in his work, the teachers updated the website with grades often so I always knew what my son's current grade was (and so did he), and the principal sent out messages by phone on a regular basis to notify, remind, and keep you informed of everything going on. The REACH card allowed students to do things like bump up a quiz grade, excuse a homework assignment, be first in line for food, etc. which was an excellent way to reward those who had achieved a good GPA -- a wonderful incentive for students to do their best. The principal really knows how to successfully run a school filled with more teenagers than most of us would ever want to be around, and her staff follows in her footsteps to make sure the kids are learning.

This School has no manners, they are rude and show their kids disrespect. They have teachers that are very disorganized and forgetful. They need to have better quality leadership!!!

This is a good school with high parent involvement - a couple of educators have been an issue; but overall the staff is caring and conciensious. No extracurricular activities due to lack of funding - not enough title one kids to qualify for federal programs.

This school is good, I think that the academic programs are good, all the teachers are excellent, but some of the pe classes should be smaller, my class has over 100! The drama teacher is cool! My english teacher rocks! I think the lunche time is way 2 short! but, overall I like Rrancho.

This district is awesome. I only wish my child would have been enrolled in the district earlier. The staff at Rancho is fully supportive, even to the point of calling during the weekend.
