Carol Rae Ranch Elementary School

I’ve had two kids go here from kindergarten through 6th grade. We had the best experience. The teachers and staff are excellent. You can feel the love and care for children the second you walk in the door.

We love SSE. Dr Moses works hard to learn your name and be involved. I see him walking around the campus and in classrooms every time I go into the school. The teachers have been amazing and communicative. The school has received the A+ award again this year and it is well deserved. I love that SSE instills good values. From what I have experienced, they have done a good job in protecting the students against bullying by educating them. Whenever I have had a question or concern, the teachers have taken time to help me and my children. The thought of changing schools makes me so sad. There is a sense of community here at SSE that would be difficult to leave. The school loves parent volunteers and I love that they want me, as a parent, to be in the school often. SSE did their best during the COVID shut downs and I witnessed the hard work and dedication the teachers put into making things as smooth as they possibly could during that time. This is truly a terrific school. I would recommend this school to anyone.

We are the parents of a second-grade student at Pioneer Elementary School in the Gilbert School district. We have been so thrilled with our daughters school, especially the teachers! Each of them have been so supportive and worked with us for the best outcome for our daughter. We have been so grateful for all of the continued communication and updates. If you are looking for a group of educators that put the children first, Pioneer is the place for you. Mrs. Nowicki in Kindergarten goes above and beyond and is one of the most amazing people on the planet! Mrs. Steward & Mrs. Woodger in Second Grade are such an outstanding pair and truly focus on each child as an individual to ensure they are setting up the student for success. We are so thankful to Pioneer Elementary for all that they do! Mrs. Miller has a wonderful campus! We are excited to start our younger daughter in Building Blocs and at Sonoma Ranch. Mr. Dachtyl has been super helpful and we are looking forward to it.

This school is very clique-y. The teachers have a very toxic “behind the scenes” culture where they bad talk other students and parents and staff. Obviously this is not ALL teachers but a great majority are not truly for the students and helping their experience.

Horrible school! Dr. Victor, the principal is a living nightmare. She will call you for every little thing. My kiddo was bullied and when she decided to stand up for herself she would get in trouble by the principle even after I told the principal that she was getting provoked by bullies and nothing was being done. This school is a joke. We moved to a new school and are much happier there with the new principal and staff members. Save your children from the anxiety and sign them up to a different school. You won’t regret it!

Incredible community, incredible faith driven academics. Could not recommend this school more!
