It's a school with great test scores due to the values of the parents, not the skills of the teachers. The new principal is a significant downgrade from our previous one. Younger grades tend to be overcrowded.

Too many students per teacher. School is not able to spend enough time on each student. Learning is only with books, no time for hands-on experience.

We just loved the teachers. Elyse Caputo in our daughters 6 grade was probably THE most amazing teacher on Earth. We havent heard of one single bad teacher in this School.

Our daughter has attended Solana Ranch since it opened in 2014 and we have loved everything about it. The principal is first rate and the teachers are incredible as well. We have not had a single negative experience in the last 4 years. Leadership development is phenomenal and the students lead essentially everything from parent-teacher conferences, monthly assemblies and school tours. The amount of homework has been perfect and I have never considered it to be too much or too little. It's the right amount to encourage the kids to be well-rounded with other activities and just enjoy being kids while they can!

My daughter is going here since the start of the school in 2014 and it has been very positive experience for her. School has made every effort to impart education as her level and provided extra support wherever needed. They have instilled great confidence and leadership skills that she is now ready for Middle school without any anxiety or fear.
