The school grounds are pretty well kept so I really don't have anything bad to say. The education provided in this city isn't the best in LA but they are doing a decent job.

This is my son's first year at South Ranchito. He started 1st grade here after coming from the…read moreIrvine School District, where he previously had a positive academic experience. I chose this school in part because I attended South Ranchito myself as a child and had a good experience, so I never imagined we would be dealing with this now. That said, it is important to note that the school was very different back then and structured differently than it is today. Before enrolling my son, I was repeatedly reassured that he would receive support learning Spanish and that the language barrier would not be an issue. We are now six months into the school year, and that reassurance has proven to be inaccurate. My son is struggling significantly due to the language barrier, and it has affected his confidence, attitude, and academic performance both in Spanish and English. Homework has become a daily struggle because he dislikes the school and feels overwhelmed. These issues never existed before. He is now falling behind academically, and I am genuinely concerned that he may not pass the year. I recently received notice that he must stay after school for additional ELA testing, which unfortunately confirmed that he is being pushed back academically rather than supported. Communication has been another major concern. I am contacted when my son is involved in an incident, yet there is little to no communication when something happens to him. Minor issues are treated as major problems, and I receive repeated calls stating that he "doesn't listen" or "has difficulty following directions," despite my explaining multiple times that the language barrier plays a significant role. Instead of offering understanding or solutions, responses have felt dismissive and authoritative rather than supportive. I also attempted to contact the principal regarding my son's academic struggles and transition. I left a message and never received a call back. For a parent raising serious concerns about their child falling behind academically, this lack of response is unacceptable. As a single working mother, I am unfortunately forced to keep my son enrolled until the end of the school year due to after-school care availability. However, he will not be returning next year. I strongly discourage enrolling your child here if Spanish is not their first language unless you thoroughly research the specific classroom and support system they will be assigned. While this may be a classroom-specific issue, based on our experience, this school has failed to support my child academically and emotionally. Avoid if possible.

I use to help him with the outside platform for our Friday assemblies. I remember he even took a group of us to a basketball game and he paid for everything. Back then they gave the boys swats for misbehaving. He had a huge wooden paddle hanging on the wall behind his desk. It was almost like a trophy. When he died it was a sad time for the school. They even had a small plaque placed at southeast end of the park. It was a vey nice ceremony with students and city officials. That's when they officially changed the school's name to Jack Macy Elementary. They later shortened the name for some reason to Macy Elementary. I recently took my family to the school, so they could see where I attended school. To my surprise the old gate kickball backstop was still there in the field. What really supposed me was the fact that the plaque honoring the Mr Macy had been destroyed and grass was covering where it was. It was obvious the school had not taken any action to replace it, as if the principal was lost in time. I hope the current principal sees this post and looks into it and replaces it. The history of the school should stay alive and not lost with time.
