Wood Ranch Elementary School

Posted May 21, 2009

I am a parent at this school for now 3 years. Acedemics at this school are OK, but not great. The staff is generally nice, but if you do not have an 'in' with them, then you are not going to receive much information other than what is generally sent. For the most part, the teachers are wonderful. Volunteering at this school is a must. The lower grade teachers need the help and ask for it. I have not found that to be the case for the upper grades. WR has started to offer several extra curricular activities for after school. The problem is the cost. You must pay for everything if you want your child to participate. If you have three children at the school it becomes VERY expensive. With the new principal, things have started to turn around for the better. Very happy with Mr. Todo!

My daughter attended this school from K-5th grade. For most of the years I could not have been happier but as she got older and the classroom size got larger, the communication with the teachers seemed difficult. My daughter had some issues come up in the 5th grade and although I talked numerous times to her teacher and the principal, I couldn't seem to get them to help her. I finally felt that I had no choice but to pull her out. Many of the students have parents that have money and the kids can sometimes act very elitist as they form their little cliques and pick on the other children.

Woodranch is a great school and rivals local private schools.

This school provides a safe and great learning environment. Could use more extracurricular activities taught by experienced staff other than parent volunteers. Principal seems more concerned about the 'status' of the school. The principal does not have very good follow up skills. There are many excellent teachers at the school, however, they get bumped around each year to different grade levels. Was glad to hear that a couple of teachers had retired. They certainly did not belong at an elementary school level. There are still a few teachers that the principal needs to address. Overall, my kids have had a great experience at the school. The staff and most of the teachers are very caring.
