Some teachers are great and care about their students and know how to teach, but its clear some dont. This school is lacking when it comes to supporting children with learning disabilities. My child is on an IEP and struggled with no help from his teacher, so we ended up switching schools. Bennett Ranch seems to care more about getting their test scores up than the actual wellbeing of the students. Recommend enrolling elsewhere.

I love this school. It takes a village and I feel well-supported by all of the staff. We have 4 special needs kiddos with very different needs and theyve always gone above and beyond to make accommodations.

Very disappointed in the school recently, some teachers are good but I am not satisfied in the academic progress made in the year. Almost everyday I get told about children throwing things in class and nothing being done about it. I would recommend finding a different school for your children if you can.

It's already the end of February and the kids have only gone to school a total of 5 days because the teachers don't want to drive in half a centimeter of snow and because they want to have teacher development days every Friday. If you don't mind having your kid at home all the time, then please, come here. My child is in third grade and has a hard time doing simple addition (10+12) ...my neighbor kid is incredibly smart but has a hard time with math too. The teachers admitted they don't check the work they put out. This should tell you something about the school. My kid has gotten hurt a lot as well. Construction workers? Noone supervises them, they talk to the kids all the time.

School has changed over the years, and not in a good way. Staff is often less than helpful and one office staff is even rude on the phone. They overall have seemed to care less about children lately. For example, in 20* weather they will allow a little child to leave the school and stand at the bus without a jacket and not care. In previous years it would have been addressed. The entire school is below average in basic skills and the school is on a probationary period due to low performance. This school was once amazing, and now it is becoming just as bad as the other schools in the area. An example of poor performance, my child learned more quickly how to read at summer camp than she did in class. Not impressed and would no longer recommend this school.

Both of our kids have been going to Bennett Ranch Elementary for 2 years now, and we love them! The school is only 3+ years old (I think) and it just keeps getting better! Its a nice, smaller elementary school, and its exactly what we wanted for our kids.
Any low test scores prior to 2022 should be blamed on Covid. Seriously. As a parent, and former teacher, the teachers did their very best with the given situation. God bless them all!

Still has a small school feel, growth is slow and we like it that way, but it should be interesting to see what happens with their addition for FMS 6th grade.
Classes are a little larger than we'd prefer but most grades only have two classes which has it's pluses and minuses. The principal seems to genuinely care about the school and knows most families. Issues are generally dealt with swiftly.

Great small school and family feel. Special education has become a priority.

A terrible experience at this school. My spouse and I do not trust the faculty at this school after numerous complaints. The faculty need more training in resolving certain situations.
