I am very surprised by the 4 star rating on this school. Both my kids have done really well here and both are happy. There must be an error in this rating.

We particularly love the project based approach of Casita, that the staff and parents are exceptionally engaged, that the curriculum is well balanced between scientific and creative offerings and that despite all that it is an accessible and inclusive school. Our kid loves going to school here and made a lot of friends in the two years she is visiting Casita. The teachers have a great strategy of motivating the children by reinforcing positive behavior and encouraging initiative and independent thinking. The principal Ms. Chien is super approachable, empathetic and her and the staff earned the school a Blue Ribbon award. The only thing that I find irritating, is the necessity for constant fundraising. That being said, the school and PTA excel there to bring in the funds to make the outstanding program at Casita possible. The results speak for itself. Go cougars!

I love VAPA and my children love it as well. The teachers are great, it's family-oriented they have a lot of fun nights for families at the school. From camping out to International Day, and so much more. The staff is amazing and helpful. My kids love attending and I recommend it to parents.

I am a junior this year and I love going to Rancho. I like most of the teachers. I play football. We're not good but it's still fun. There are some weirdos here but I am sure every school has a few weirdos.

Lake Elementary has been nothing but a top tier school. Great teachers, families, and students. I've been on campus to volunteer on multiple occasions and then feeling tone is very positive and welcoming.
