What an amazing experience! My child spent 7th and 8th at Rancho, and all of the teachers were supportive, caring and creative with their lesson plans. There was the right balance between hard work, independence, and fun being back together to learn and grow. The staff went above and beyond to support our student. The kids, and some of the staff, had tears in their eyes during 8th grade promotion, which was touching. My child is fully prepared and confident for high school (and beyond) thanks to the lessons learned at Rancho. The 504 team is outstanding. Principal Snowden, and her team, made Middle School two of the best years of my kiddos life.

We had 2 children go to and excel at Uni in the ‘90’s.The first was The Valadictorian and was accepted to and went to Harvard. Our younger one went to and excelled at Cal/BerkeleyWe never had to worry about our kids and did not spend any $$$ on tutors.Thanks for the Great Education and most appreciative of the Faculty who made it easy for us to be successful parents.

We have a smart, but special needs, child. Despite the fact that is has caused problems, Alderwood has defended him, supported him, and provided the very best education I believe possible. Principle Cheshire is a true hero. Communicates openly, honestly, and effectively. School counselors have provided greatly appreciated support. Among the excellent teachers, Ms Smemoe was particularly welcoming to students and parents. I wish every child in America received the attention our child has at Alderwood.
