We love the welcoming environment from the administrators to teachers to the students. We are so grateful for the opportunity to introduce our daughter to so many new opportunities in a safe & caring school

We are new to the middle school and experiencing bullying. There seems to be a core group of students who consider new students a threat, so both girls and boys are being vicious. Handful of other students who are actually welcoming. Skirt lengths are being measured by staff, but the focus should be on a positive culture in addition to dress code. Academics are fine; probably above par. Doubt we stay for long.

Rancho Solano on Via de Ventura is the worst school that my child ever attended. The mosquitos and cockroaches outnumber the students, and drugs and bullying are at epidemic levels. The teachers are not well compensated which results in weak, uninspired classes. A few of the teachers border on cruel...
