Governor's Ranch Elementary School

Don’t send your child here if they need special education services. The special education staff is amazing, but the general education teachers have zero interest in including your child. My child has sat by themselves a lot and is not included in the classroom activities often. She is definitely discriminated against because of her disabilities. Leadership doesn’t have the knowledge of special education and IEPs to help with the situation.

My son is getting bullied at this school. He is 7 years old and kids are pushing and pulling him around. This is unacceptable, especially since I’ve talked with the teachers AND principal. I would not recommend this school.

My daughter currently has Mrs. Laura and every time I am in classroom, I am blown away by the way she handles her classroom. The students respect for her and each other is evident, I don't think this is the vibe outside of MPA. I love the staff, front office and the Library and everyone! My daughter has told me that she wants her kids to go to Montessori and to attend in High School. It comes up at least once every few weeks. It's amazing and I am thankful for this community.

This school is horrible. No honor classes, only three electives, band is the only performance art (thanks to the new principal this year...) and the entire school isn't run very well. Staff gossip about children, and hold a very manipulative and fake tone to their voice. Punishment is not helpful, weird schedule that nobody likes, arguably unnecessary guidelines, heavy favoritism, some classes don't even have teachers, and nothing gets learned. I took absolutely no information from social studies this year, and am now a year behind the curriculum in math because I was in honors at a different school last year, but since this school doesn't offer any honor programs, I have a year to make up. I'm transferring out ASAP. I truly believe only a FEW teachers care about the students. Not to mention the behavior they condone? Students walk out of classes with no repercussions, some hide out in other teachers classes, and no other school I’ve been to lets kids spout vulgar language to one another. The admin rewards BAD kids for what seems like how you’re supposed to behave. It’s like they’re best friends, because explain to me WHY you’re buying food for kids who don’t deserve it? It should also be known that the school had rejected kids from attending, because they can’t tend to their needs as a special education child. This is one of the schools out of the many I’ve been to that actually does make me hate school.
