Who knew applying to preschool and elementary gives the same pressure and stress as finding a…read morecollege? I'm not saying we are a Rancho Christian lifer, but I will say our experience in both the preschool and elementary school have been positive. After researching, talking to parents, and finally touring a couple of the Temecula schools, we enjoyed the fact that Rancho provided an environment that felt safe, enrichment classes that we felt were important (such as the arts), and also included a space for our kids to grow academically and spiritually. *PRESCHOOL REVIEW* We initially toured the preschool, since my daughter was not yet potty trained (and in order for her to proceed in her age level preschool, she would need to be fully potty trained). This wasn't entirely alarming since most preschools in the area have a "mandatory" deadline, which honestly can be stressful on parents. Both my kids "eased" into it; I've always believed that potty training should be a gentle transition and encouraged, not pushed. What set Rancho apart was the partnership that the admission team provided with us, recommending she start in the summer enrolled in the "Little Tots" program, which would provide her in a 3 month setting that eased her into the routine. Ms. Annalise was an amazing summer school teacher. She was in tune with what our daughter needed (especially since she was switching childcare). During the fall, she switched to Ms. Faith - another amazing teacher who also provided a safe potty environment. Soon enough, she was transitioned over to her grade level class with Ms. Jem and Ms. Shilpi. Three smooth transitions over the course of a year speaks volumes of the staff. She loved all of her teachers, and the app that the school uses - Brightwheel, provided a snapshot of their potty, eating and pix/videos for the day. The only thing I wish is that preschool and elementary somehow used the same platform to streamline communication and forms. Apps I had to download for the school are: -Blackbaud: for all application school forms, tuition/billing schedules, etc -Brightwheel: preschool only app for updates/communication -Band: Elementary school app for updates and communication Pros and Cons: Pros: -Rancho is an excellent communicator via Brightwheel/IG/FB/Email. It's easy to get a hold of someone via phone/Brightwheel, they are responsive which is important as a parent! -After a certain time in the morning, the entrance on the side of the school (closest to the preschool is closed), you will need to go to the front of the school and pass the guard check-in gate. I personally love this since there are measures in place to check any guest that comes in after a certain time. -Each parent/guardian is provided with a check in code. This is used to sign in and out of preschool at the front office. -Great school events and staff -Love that our daughter gets to see her brother (who attends elementary) at some of the school events! -Chapel: our daughter looks forward to chapel Wednesdays. Every preschooler has a blue chapel shirt; the service is age appropriate, while providing them with a spiritual baseline. Cons: -The exit gate isn't always closely monitored. There typically is staff around the area to keep an eye on anyone exiting (along with any kids trying to get out), but this could be better. -Summer school logistics was a little chaotic. And this comes from being a first time Rancho parent. We were unsure of where to go for early drop-off or late pickup. -Preschool feels siloed, I wish there was more cohesion between Preschool, Elementary and High School. Overall, we love the fact that our daughter has had a good experience with both the staff and her classmates. We feel that our voices are heard if there is ever an issue, and that for the most part administration is also visible and pleasant to communicate with! Will post our experience with elementary soon!

My granddaughter attended Linfield Christian School from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The…read morereligious emphasis at the school has helped her and other students to develop a strong moral, Christian foundation upon which to guide her future. The school is large enough to offer a varied and challenging program including Internation Baccalaureate courses for talented students, and it is small enough to be concerned for the needs and strengths of individual students. The school sponsors a variety of academic, athletic, social, and team-building events which stimulate and motivate students. It has been a pleasure to help support my granddaughter's attendance at Linfield Christina School and celebrate her senior year activities as I look forward to her graduation.

At the time when I was going…read morehere I was a bit upset, I mean really, what kid wants to wear a red, white and blue jumper to school every day? But really I had so many opportunities at this school than regular private schools. I went here from k-8th grade and then decided to go to a public high school and wow. I really noticed that my math and english skill sets surpassed my class mates. It is not only the fantastic education I received here that makes this school, it is all the field trips and one on one attention you receive in a class of 18 students. For my 8th grade graduation our class got to go on a Disney cruise to the Caribbean! Now that is cool! Our drama classes were excellent too. We even put on dinner plays and sold tickets as fun raisers. I am now a college graduate and looking back on my educational experience here I will have to say I will definitely enroll my kids in private school. P dot S dot: Shout outs to my old teachers if you ever see this! Ms. Nicole, Ms. Cheryl, Mr. Bob, Ms. Debbie, Ms. Angela and Mr. Craig!

Be very cautious when considering this school. I did a lot of research and didn't get what I…read morethought we signed up for. Mrs Treder is the most unprofessional teacher we have ever had. And she is also the principal. Make sure you ask questions if considering enrolling. What does she do to challenge the students? To motivate them? To help them when they are failing? With us she did none of that. And when asked she got very defensive. Once we said we wouldn't be returning next school year, she completely quit communicating. Report cards were not sent home on the last day of school, which normally I wouldn't necessarily care... but I needed my sons report card to register for football. I reached out multiple times and was ignored. Was blocked from her cell phone. The only way I was able to get it was by emailing treasurer and pastor and advising that I would be holding onto my last tuition payment until I received the report card. And then of course they responded. Coming from a place that is teaching morals and godly behavior, this is what happens if you question something. I am more than willing to elaborate further if you have questions.
