I really love Sonoma Ranch, every teacher my kids have had are really responsive and deeply care about their students.

Being a former teacher myself, this is one amazing school! My children have been to 5 different schools, we move a lot but Sonoma Ranch is their favorite! The teachers are very communicative. The classrooms and hallways are clean. Front desk people are approachable and helpful. The principal Mr. Kelly is hands-on. You see him everywhere! At the drop off, during pick up, I see him in each and every event! Each week, there's a newsletter from the principal and teachers. Again, great communication! Before school started there had been several announcements, emails and even text messages about school time, drop off and pick up instructions. Just like any other schools, there is only one open door to access inside and it's in the front door. Yes, the gates are locked once all children are inside and it's for all the student's security. Safety is #1 school priority.

Bad experience. Drop off is nightmare- if you don't reach the school by a certain time the big gate in the back is closed and you have to go all the away around the school to the front of it-- did not know this as this as the gate has been open the prior 2 days at drop off. I'm learning the system as this is the 3rd day of school for my Kindergartener- I've never had a student attend school before. This morning was locked into the blacktop area and was told by a teacher holding the key to the gate that I needed to walk 1/2 mile in dress clothes and heals back to my car b/c the gate was locked!! She had let me in to drop off my kindergartener but then locked the gate on me when I was headed back to leave. I had to chase her down in heels and demand she let me out of the back gate. She reluctantly let me back out after I told her that I was not walking in 100 degree weather 1/2 mile back to my car in dress clothes and heels- I was headed to work afterwards and would have been late and sweaty mess with sore feet. May not keep my child here. That's just rude and inconsiderate!! Who does that?! Are we at a prison here?! Let the principal know about this bad experience this morning and he didn't care-- just lazy and obnoxious. May be pulling my child from this school and sending him to Greenfield Elementary instead which has higher reviews and probably nicer staff.

I have had my boys at this school for three years now. Absolutely love it. I have dealt with many schools through the years with my older kids. I won't move my boys from this school. From the crossing guards to the teachers to the principal. LOVE LOVE LOVE
