Rancho Santa Margarita Intermediate does a wonderful job transitioning the students from Elementary to High School. I have had 2 students completing their 7th and 8th grade in RSM Intermediate and my 3rd student incoming for the next school year. I recommend this school. The staff and Principal are great. The school is clean and secure. They have grown academically and socially. The variety of Electives is great and so is the options for core subjects to do them as regular or honors. Plenty of flexibility for each student to find what suits them better for their learning style. There is an assigned school counselor for 7th grade and one for 8th grade. They are amazing and caring and will work with the families for any concerns (socially, mental health or academic) that may arise during the years at RSM Intermediate.I recommend this school.

We chose Trabuco Elementary as our school of choice in 2023. My son has been attending it for over a year, and he tells me daily that he absolutely loves the school. He loves all his classmates and knows the names of all farm animals. Watching my older son blossom in this cute little paradise of a canyon school has been an absolute pleasure. Trabuco Elementary is one of California's only five designated "Green" elementary schools. Students get to study surrounded by centuries-old trees and a regional park. The school organizes many events throughout the year. What lifts this slice of paradise above the others is that kids from all over the district come here on tours to learn more about nature and biology, and this school has welcoming staff who sincerely care for the students - the sense of community that this school offers is unmatched. Everyone knows each other's name and supports each other. As far as I know, Trabuco Elementary is not only one of the oldest schools in the county but also the only operating country school in Orange County. The staff has also been amazing. The principal is always there to welcome us—rain, shine, or ashes from the AirportFire can't stop her from doing her job—she is always there for the kids. Every day, I leave my son at Trabuco Elementary with peace of mind, knowing he will be cared for. I plan on enrolling my younger son, who is only four years old, as a kindergartener in 2025.

my experience at this school has been awful, people treat everyone like trash and nobody gets disciplined for it. some of the teachers even yell and insult the students. the students are horrible to each other and make me wonder if they’ve ever been disciplined or if they even have parents to teach them proper behavior at all. most of the students literally harass others during class, and the teachers don’t even care/notice it. people are literally racist, and this school supposedly promotes kindness?? we have substitutes all the time and most of the teachers can’t even teach correctly, or their worksheets have a ton of errors. insane and so embarrassing.
