Lang Ranch

The school is really big, with so many kids it can seem overwhelming. 4-5 classes in each grade, with close to 30 kids in each class. But the academia is rigorous, the campus is tidy and the kids come from affluent families. There are enrichment classes after school that are paid out of pocket but offer great opportunities for sports, chorus, ceramics and art.My daughter is learning a lot but also is frustrated not getting to go to snack/recess until journal writing is completed. All in all we are happy with how much she is learning and is being challenged.

This is a wonderful school. Those other negative reviews are obviously allowed their opinion, but they have NO idea what a 1-star or 2-star school is really like. The teachers are wonderful, the staff care about the students and the atmosphere is very nurturing. I have spoken with many other parents from other areas and other schools and Lang Ranch clearly navigated the turbulent pandemic waters extremely well. We are so glad to have our kids attend this school. Keep up the wonderful work!

School condones the constant henpecking by its families toward each other. The school facebook page has parents calling each other out. Even putting up pictures and license plate numbers. The teachers care about looking good academically not the students.

Phenomenal school. My kids have been nurtured and challenged in positive ways. They love going to school and they are very prepared for middle school.

I'm sorry to read the negative experiences of the last reviewer, but I couldn't disagree more. It has been a wonderful community for my family. Every single school your child will ever attend will ask for donations. The parents who complain about this are also the parents who complain when music or visual arts or P.E. is cut. This is a public school subject to California state budget cuts. If you want those things offered to your child, funds must be raised to pay for it. Try going to the Oak Park school district where parents are asked to pay $400 per child each year. What Lang Ranch asks is nothing in comparison. And yet... I have *NEVER* made a donation to the school. I'll say it again *NEVER*. Not because I don't think it's deserved, but because I'm just not able to do it financially. My kids have still been placed with great teachers, our "standing" in the school has never been affected. And no, I don't have time to volunteer often in the classroom. But I do make efforts to get to know the teachers, show my face, and make sure he/she knows my child well...that's what matters. Not the money. With regard to the "fancy parents" comment....when we first started I also had this pre-conceived idea of who would be at this school. I had my guard up and was prepared to fill like I was "keeping up with the Jones". I was shocked to find how very few "fancy parents" there are. The vast majority of parents down to earth, hard working, regular people. Bottom line - beautiful campus, top notch teaching staff, caring community. My kids are thriving and we are quite satisfied with our school experience.
