Rancho Vista Elementary School

Like many (public) schools in Southern California, this school suffers from "Ivory Tower Syndrome" (Google it). The faculty only cares about their paycheck and benefits because their leadership only focuses on moving up in their ranks instead of supporting their Direct Reports (actually doing their jobs). They can get away with it because their bureaucracy protects them (and frankly, supports it). The kids get left in the dust, receive a poor education, and develop life long behavioral issues. They teach for test scores, not for life learning. If you really love your kids, sacrifice 5-7K a year to put your child into a private school. The private schools are not perfect either, but they offer a M-U-C-H better environment.

By far the worst school my child has ever attended.

Not a great experience at this school.

I have found the teachers to be very helpful in most situations. My children received great educations, although there seems to be more and more disruptive students at the school. Overall, a great school.
