Badillo Elementary School

Wonderful school, staff and teachers. Students are challenged academically through a bible centered curriculum. I have nothing but appreciation and admiration Mr. Patel and his entire staff.

I can t say enough about the Kindergarten Ranch School. The school s owner / teacher, Mrs. Irene Leon, takes a no nonsense, old school approach to education. My children have responded well to her direct and disciplined methods and have displayed a tremendous amount of respect for her. I must also acknowledge her hard working, devoted assistant teacher, Miss Mimi. She is excellent with the children and does an exceptional job in the areas of mathematics and arts and crafts. I feel very fortunate to be able to give my children the intimate, high level, private educational experience than Kindergarten Ranch provides. Above all, Mrs. Leon and Miss Mimi love the children. The kids know it and respond tremendously!

We were big supporters of this school until recent changes in leadership. We have spent many years on this campus as our older children thrived here. As much as we wanted the same for our younger children, it seems they have hired a principal who frankly doesn't seem to care about the parent's concerns or the overall future of the school. Any concern that a parent bring to her are swept under the rug. If you have concerns including bullying -don't say anything. She will not adress it and then worse, avoid the parents. Parents have brought concerns to the priest but the principal will hide behind her words saying she's "never heard this before". The principal seems to think parents don't communicate but we all know -she's not the right fit for this school. We are highly disappointed. Most of the teachers are wonderful. Junior high math is not. Again, the principal is aware - does nothing.
