Wow. What a horrible experience with this school. My daughters first school year and she wants to return to her old school. Too many bullies and politics. Neither principals call you back to discuss my concerns. Once you do complain they seem to single your child out and take it out on them.
Posted by a parent on 5/27/2025I gave Hart Ransom a 3 star rating because it is neither substantially better or worse than other schools in the area. I could not give it a 5 star rating because of two factors. First, there is no apparent effort made to teach critical thinking skills at the school. Secondly, the school lacks an ev
Posted by a community member on 7/24/2024I went here all 9 years possible and graduated not too long ago. It was horrible. Bullying runs rampant and teachers just say nothing about it. Some teachers seem to believe that any mentally disabled children are just dumb. The teachers in charge of the resource room use a “one size fits all” metho
Posted by a community member on 6/14/2023I have 3 kids at this school and have had them here for 7 years. I have so many positive things to say about Hart Ransom. You get the private school vibe in a public school. I have never had a problem with my kids being bullied. From what I have seen, the teachers and staff do their best. I
Posted by a parent on 1/12/2021This is one of the most sought after schools in Modesto. Many parents want or wish to send their children to Hart Ransom and for good reason. My husband and I are alumni to this school, which is a big reason why our 2 boys go here. It is one of the best schools in Modesto. My husband and I

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI homeschool our 3 sons through Hart Ransom Academic Charter. They provide all the curriculum for free and I was able to choose what I wanted to use. All the curriculum meets the California State Common Core Standards. This school provides enrichment classes my boys enjoy. They still get social time with many friends and meet wonderful caring teachers and adults. Each time I am on campus I feel extremely confident and blessed my children are getting the education which suites their needs. This is a place which you can tailor to their interests and needs and foster a great love for learning and education!!Parent Review7y ago - Dena Boer School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a child with special needs who’s been transitioning into mainstream classes. The combination of his main teacher and his special education teacher have both been absolutely amazing. He’s is now going into 2nd grade spending the majority of his time in the mainstream class. So far the school has been delightful and appreciate the teachers and staff interaction with my son. They really have helped him thrive.Parent Review9mo ago - Josephine Chrysler Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my children attended school from k to 6 here. They are both very different. I've had good and bad experiences with teachers. I think it all depends on the teacher and how well equipped they are. I've struggled with my oldest since kindergarten with his attention span and behavior. Some teachers have more patience than others. I will say it was the more seasoned ones. They were willing to get him on an IEP, counseling, helping with plans at home to reinforce good behavior when staying on track. Then it seemed like a newer teacher to the school had nothing but bad to say when he started a new grade. After having improvements in the previous years. Not to mention the then vice principal (who is no longer there) telling my oldest he needed medication to stop day dreaming. Then called him a liar when confronted about it. But since having passed that grade and getting rid of that VP it was smooth sailing. The Vice Principal now Harvey is amazing. Never had a real issue with staff since then. There were some issues with bullying but quickly resolved.Parent Review2y ago - Sierra Vista Elementary School
