Saddle Ranch Elementary School

Very disappointing. We moved here in 2019 and came from a school where innovation and a celebration of diversity and differences were the norm. Here is the opposite. An appreciation of keeping your head down/not making waves and rote learning is what you can expect. Almost all teachers and staff seem content to do the minimum (with some exceptions, the school counselor and music teacher are actually amazing). No innovation, no critical thinking, no culture, and very little STEM or tech education (in 2020???). My son is receiving a lack luster education and being prepared for very narrow life experiences. The high scores are the result of teaching to tests and the homogeneity of the white, well educated upper middle class area. I almost regret moving based on this school/district and after the Covid 19 mess is over, we will be looking elsewhere.

The years we have been at saddle ranch have been great for my kids.

Excellent and we would dread to have to change schools ever because our kids love it at Saddle Ranch.

My child has been at Saddle Ranch for 5 years. We love the feeling you get when you walk in the building! It truly feels like you belong to one big family. My daughter has had wonderful teachers, who have taken the time to understand and value her learning style. Her special education team know her so well and are ready with ideas and ways to help her shine. We are lucky to have an amazing team of "specials" teachers. They are always quick with a cute anecdote about her when I see them in the building. The PTIO is involved and hosts so many great events throughout the year. Dr. Malouff and Mrs. Grimes are AMAZING! They are so present and easy to talk to. I feel confident that they are working to challenge the students, while making SRE a fun place to learn. On any given day you may catch them dressed in tutu's, as elves, or even a gorilla or dinosaur. My daughter LOVES being a Mustang! She says that it is a "magical" school. I would have to agree.
