What I have appreciated the most from this school, is that they don't tolerate bullying. I admire and appreciate this. Waging peace. Also, when something goes wrong, they take action and go on to communicate with parents about the situation and how its being handled. This school has my respect and trust. I have reassurance that every student matters to the school. How beautiful! Also, my daughter is the happiest she's ever been and I thank you Saint Gen for giving her the tranquility and the feeling of belonging we longed for. This school is unique. I appreciate all your hard work to make each child feel safe and like they belong. May god bless this school now and always. Thank you for everything!

Ms Sanders is a great teacher. My child has thrived after being in her class. The school as a whole is wonderful the staff knows our child and is very attentive. Truly it is a small net community but very diverse. They learn how to present and read, math, and write with some grammar by Kinder. Very impressed, parents its a family effort, so if you are willing to support your child with the homework, that is fantastic, if not daycare has your back for daily HW. I am looking forward to culturing my childs growth with St. Genevieve.

To any parent searching for a school to enlist their children to or transfer their child to be…read moreaware of what sort of school Ranchito is. I have had a long list of problems since my child began attending this disaster of a school. Of course a child's upbringing begins at home I am sure many parents are aware of that. Still that does not absolve our children's school from any form of responsibility that they have to our children. First and foremost it begins with the principal who at the top maintains order and governance as the spearhead giving direction, order and proper discipline to not only the students but to their employees and subordinates. Mr. Edwin Molina is anything but a proper leadership figure for this school. He makes parents aware that he is upholding children's education and growth into proper upstanding members of society although it's far from that. The school is plagued with many problems only fueled by his incompetence as a "principal" and why do I say that? Mr. Molina is one of the first to call DCFS on any parent at suspected child abuse at the home. Does not make the proper decisions in making sure it is actually true. Still granted it is correct to make sure a child is not a victim of child abuse. What about when there is on site child abuse? Bullying? When your child instead of coming home with a smile on their face of having a good day at school? When your child arrives home that they were ignored by a teacher or teacher's aide? When you hear your child express that a child had his eye poked out and the child responsible threatens to hurt and kill others at the school? That the child only got a suspension, a slap on the wrist? That the principal is nowhere to say a word? At that point its enough and parents take consideration to what school you entrust your child to. It is not fair to anyone's child to get a principal who is nothing but far below acceptable and irresponsible. This school is nothing but complete and utter disappointing as a proper school. A cualquier padre que busque una escuela para inscribir a sus hijos o transferir a sus hijos para saber qué tipo de escuela es Ranchito. He tenido una larga lista de problemas desde que mi hijo comenzó a asistir a este desastre de escuela. Por supuesto, la crianza de un niño comienza en casa. Estoy seguro de que muchos padres lo saben. Aún así, eso no absuelve a la escuela de nuestros hijos de cualquier forma de responsabilidad que tengan con nuestros hijos. En primer lugar, comienza con el director, quien en la cima mantiene el orden y el gobierno como punta de lanza dando dirección, orden y disciplina adecuada no solo a los estudiantes sino también a sus empleados y subordinados. El Sr. Edwin Molina es cualquier cosa menos una figura de liderazgo adecuada para esta escuela. Él hace que los padres sean conscientes de que está defendiendo la educación y el crecimiento de los niños para que se conviertan en miembros dignos de la sociedad, aunque está lejos de eso. La escuela está plagada de muchos problemas solo alimentados por su incompetencia como "director" y ¿por qué digo eso? El Sr. Molina es uno de los primeros en llamar a DCFS sobre cualquier padre en caso de sospecha de abuso infantil en el hogar. No toma las decisiones adecuadas para asegurarse de que sea realmente cierto. Aun así, es correcto asegurarse de que un niño no sea víctima de abuso infantil. ¿Qué pasa cuando hay abuso infantil en el sitio? ¿Acoso? Cuando su hijo en lugar de volver a casa con una sonrisa en la cara de tener un buen día en la escuela? ¿Cuándo su hijo llega a casa que fue ignorado por un maestro o asistente de maestro? ¿Cuándo escucha a su hijo expresar que a un niño le sacaron un ojo y el niño responsable amenaza con lastimar y matar a otros en la escuela? ¿Que el niño solo recibió una suspensión, un tirón de orejas? ¿Que el director no está por ningún lado para decir una palabra? En ese momento es suficiente y los padres toman en consideración a qué escuela confiar a su hijo. No es justo para el hijo de nadie tener un director que está muy por debajo de lo aceptable e irresponsable. Esta escuela no es más que completa y absolutamente decepcionante como una escuela adecuada.

This current 16-17 school year was my daughter's first year at St Gen as a Freshman. I am beyond…read moreimpressed with the school. I was just like every parent who is nervous in sending off their child to high school, especially with the horror stories you hear about schools in general but I was wrong. To date I have been very pleased with the caliber and education she has received. I was completely surprised when she told me that the first day of school was an all day event that was put together by the upper grade students as a Welcome Freshman day. I had never heard of any other school making every student involved in creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere to all the new students. I can honestly say that from day one she has been happy. She likes her teachers, has excelled in subjects that she struggled with in Jr High and better yet has not missed one day of school which reflect on her grades and GPA. I have St Gen's faculty and principal to thank for providing the right tools from the start! Additionally while this is a Catholic School and values, character and respect are high on the standards they uphold, this is not your average Catholic School. It is very modern and puts its academics ahead of everything else. They are grooming and prepping students for college from 9th grade by offering College Prep, AP and Honor courses, along with a plethora of extra curricular activities. Unlike most private schools that are very rigid in their dress code, they allow the students to wear daily "Nike athletic gear" that of course is sold in the campus. This is not to say that they are not strict about the athletic uniform because they are but my point is that they have created an environment of comfort and again focuses more on the academics and athletics over dressing like you are going to church everyday. Don't get me wrong there are days that formal wear is required but its not everyday which is really cool. On the financial side of things....don't be scared or think you cannot afford it. Talk to Mrs Z and explain your concern or hestiations and trust me she will walk you thru any process. They are willing to help so don't feel discouraged if you go online and review the tuition pricing. What I find very refreshing and innovative are the night schools which take place once or twice a month every other month or so. The night school sessions feature various motivational speakers that visit from all walks of life and offer such a profound view into their life and struggles that is so inspiring and special. I personally look forward to the night schools. Mr. Horn has provided a way for you as a parent to partake in these night school events which take place in the evening. It really shows how much this school wants you as a parent to have an open dialogue with your child after the end of the event and as you drive home. I really appreciate the time and effort every faculty member puts into these events. Its really a wonderful experience to be a part of and shows the school spirit in full effect. Frankly I have not come across that type of school spirit anywhere else. Its infectious and makes you feel not only like you made the right decision in enrolling your child in this school but that they are in the right hands with people that care and are helping them evolve into adulthood.

Moreover, the homework when I attended was nothing short of substandard. One sheet of math homework was not enough to help me personally get ahead or study for any other subjects, as they had no respective homework.

In conclusion, if you want to enroll for a good education, I would not recommend this school in the slightest. However, if all you're signing your child up for is fun, then I would definitely recommend this school.
