My son is in the 7th grade at Rancho Pico Jr. High and my husband and I couldn't be happier about his school environment. We have seen him truly blossom since going to Jr. High. His teachers are caring and excellent teachers and the communication with parents is outstanding. I can check on his progress and homework assignments in every class whenever I like online. The teachers are also very responsive via email if I ever have a question. I am so grateful to live in this community so that my son can have such a tremendous public education!
The staff and teachers at Rancho Pico are educated, involved and interactive! In response to the parent who submitted a remark on Aug. 8th, I don't think that parent was involved with the school. I participate in the PAC meetings and volunteer in the school and I have witnessed great integrity and awesome involvement of the staff. They educate our students, take preventive measures and intervene efficiently if need be. I am proud to have my daughter attend Rancho Pico. She is high achieving and has made alot of good friends. Because I volunteer and experience first hand the interaction of the staff and students I can proudly say that this campus is safe and an excellent environment for learning. Drugs and bullying will always exist in life but Rancho Pico is making sure it is not tolerated at this school. No school is perfect but Rancho Pico strives for the best.
My son is n the seventh grade this year and so far I have never been so impressed with a middle school as I am with Rancho Pico. It is a fantastic environment for learning and all the different types of development going on during these difficult years of growth. "Back to school night" was beyond impressive. The staff is simply amazing. As far as the comment on Ms. Levy Holmes back in Aug, this was clearly written by a student. She is more than an art teacher. She ties in vocabulary, history, cultures, some math, all this with the art she is teaching. It is an honor for my child to be in her class.
Rancho Pico is an outstanding school. I have had two students go through there, with another one in 8th grade now. I have been very impressed with the high standards of the teachers, counselors and administrators. The principal's energy alone gives that place a positive charge that is felt by all. The teachers go the extra mile to make sure students learn. Our only regret is that it only lasts 2 years.
