Schools should not be engaging students—especially middle school children—in political turmoil. Even though I personally may disagree with the current political climate, I do not believe it is appropriate for schools to encourage or allow children to protest issues they do not fully understand.Educa
Posted by a parent on 2/4/2026What 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 suppo
Posted by a community member on 6/3/2023We have had a tremendously positive experience at Rancho San Joaquin Middle school with our 7th grader this year. The teachers have been engaging and have come up with creative ways to get students interested in the course material. I like how encouraging the PE teachers are; they try to get the kid
Posted by a parent on 3/4/2023I just graduated and I have to say I had a great experience here especially with the teachers I got in both years. They were all really passionate about their subjects and taught well. Some teachers gave more homework but were really good at teaching. I really enjoyed my learning experience here at
Posted by a community member on 6/10/2021Very bad experience especially with the Principle Mike Modeer, Assistant principle Jeffery Morano and Therapist Kelly Alexander. They lack of experience .

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageRenascence School International (RSI) has been an incredible place for our daughter’s education and growth. She began attending kindergarten in 2012 and graduated from high school in 2025, and we could not have chosen a better school.From the administration to every teacher, the team at RSI is outstanding — supportive, caring, and completely dedicated to each student’s success. Academically, the school is exceptional. Students consistently learn up to two grade levels ahead, and through RSI’s dual-enrollment program with a local community college, our daughter earned two associate degrees, along with her IGETC certification, which fulfills general education requirements for both the UC and CSU university systems — all at the same time she graduated from high school.RSI’s language program is equally impressive. Our daughter earned perfect scores (5s) on both her AP Spanish and AP Chinese exams and received the Global Seal of Biliteracy at the Working Fluency level in both languages — a highly prestigious distinction that reflects advanced proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Only a small percentage of bilingual students nationwide reach this level, making it a truly exceptional achievement.Because of the strong foundation RSI provided, our daughter received multiple university acceptances with generous academic scholarships. We love this school so much that even after she graduated, our family continues to volunteer and support RSI because it truly feels like family.Renascence School International has been one of the best decisions we have ever made — a school that challenges, inspires, and prepares students for success in a global world.Parent Review6mo ago - Leport School
