Cameron Ranch Elementary School

This school does not make any priority to actually be effective. The teachers have entirely too many kids in their classrooms for them to handle and now they have switched to combo classes where they have even less ability to teach these children. The bullying is out of control. Do not suggest this school for anyone.

Cameron Ranch Elementary School is a terrible school for kids. Bullying from Staff as well as other kids. My daughter has always loved school but now she begs not to leave her here. She has gone to school here for 2 years. The teachers need to get a heart and if you don't want to teach, GET OUT. "They" have always told me, oh it will get better. I can tell you today it has not. Her kindergarden and first grade year her class was 35+ kids not enough kids for desks so they had to share by keeping 1/2 on carpet and 1/2 the kids at desks. (They are able to say they have low student-teacher ratio by adding in IA that are in the classroom an hour or less a day.) Last year, near Christmas a unknown person tried to kidnap a child here during dismissal. NO one was watching this 1st grader. Ways they could be better: Qualified teacher (They move teachers that taught 4/5 grade to K, no good) Courteous Staff (yes, the lunch lady, the office staff be nice.)

Schools change as do all institutions, reflective of incoming/outgoing teachers, students, wtc. & environmental/political fluctuations over time. My five stars is outdated, but Cameron Ranch Elementary is a cherished monument of memory for me, and holds a deeply heart felt space in my mind to this day. I as well as my elder brother attended school here roughly 10 years ago. A decade has passed and it is sad/unfortunate to see that the wonderful and reputable foundation this school once was has seemed to have faltered and lost the golden honor once felt by a proud falcon. Parent or student. THE SCHOOL IS A NAME AND A BUILDING OCCUPYING A LOCATION. WE, HUMANS, PEOPLE OF PROFOUND CAPABILITY AND AUDACITY, MAKE UP WHAT THE INSTITUTION EMBODIES AND REFLECTS.

This school is over crowded with very little parent participation. There is a bully problem. There are a few good teachers but very few extra activities. My children went to this school for two years and it was not a good experience. There are quite a few lower income families that attend this school which brings with it a certain level of problems in itself. It is really chaotic dropping children off and picking children up. They stopped handing out homework at the beginning of this year citing low test scores. To my layman point of view it would make sense to continue homework for that very reason. Overall I am not impressed with this school and I feel a four star rating is too high for this school.
