They did a test and claims my son is not autistic so they are not going to treat him as such since according to their test results he is NOT autistic. I know this does not do with the school but to the district of Temecula if your kid is not physically showing a disability they are not allowed to ride the bus. Also they just let kids get bullied and they don't do anything about it. In the morning If it's raining outside they are not allowed to go inside they have to stand in the rain till the bell rings and they open the gates then they are allowed to go in. I can go on and on of all the crap this school has put my kids through but I do not have enough characters to do so. Please avoid this school as much as possible. If i could give it 0 stars I would.

Our son has ADHD and behavioral issues. Ms. Schlansky could see my son for who he was, and not just…read morea behavioral issue. Out of the four 2nd grade teachers we became familiar with, she was by far the best. Academically - speaking she is rigorous and does not pass out As easily - one a sign of a good teacher. When my son started to struggle, she contacted us regularly in order to help us help him - maybe a more important sign of a good teacher. He eventually got his grades back up. A final sign of an exceptional teacher is a love for teaching and truly caring about students - which she clearly does. What a great combination - high expectations for academic achievement, good feedback on assignments and exams, and empathy for students. NVES is very lucky to have her!

I would email ms.cindy and the respond was always that she'll ask who ever my son was with that day or she'll say that they don't remember seeing my son fall or anything. She would send my son home with a sweater that wasn't his sometimes, his water bottle went "missing" at school somehow, and when it came to IEP meetings she would schedule, but would forget to cancel or would try and act like I forgot we had an IEP meeting whenever she did. During the meetings she seemed unprepared. I now know never to sign an IEP until it's all in paper because teachers say one thing, but write another thing in the IEP. At the end of the school year she kept suggesting for my son to attend another school. Did I forget to mention she called cps claiming my son had belt marks, hand marks, and bruises on him? He didn't.

I was literally about to fall unconscious, because I couldn't breathe (I was literally the only person who had to run). After that she just ignored me. And the lady in the front office I think her name is Sharon, she was trying to take the subs side even tho I could have passed out, I really wonder what that would have done to them. She was also pretty rude to one of my friends when we went back to school after covid, and when we had to wear masks, because his masks fell below his nose and he didn't realized it right away. He had to stand outside for the rest of class, I'm only saying this because the kid right next to him didn't even have his mask on and she just asked him to put it on. (same sub btw)

All 4 of my children went to Red Hawk Elementary and I absolutely LOVE it! The school is small…read moreenough to where you feel like you're part of a family. The teachers are compassionate and engaging. They teach students independence and self advocacy, which in turn prepares them for the next stages in their education. There are tons of activities that incorporate families, such as lunch with a loved one, fall festival, and literacy and STEM nights. During all of our years at Red Hawk, our favorite principal by far has been Taylor Lundin. She is always present, greeting students in the morning and saying goodbye in the afternoons. She cares deeply about student and parent safety. She strives to ensure that all students have access to a top notch education, which is very important to my family! I have also watched as Mrs. Lundin has guided her intervention administrators into assistant principals, creating more opportunities for those individuals to grow! It's truly amazing to see. We moved to Temecula for its wonderful schools, and Red Hawk is no exception! I highly recommend becoming a Hero at Red Hawk Elementary!

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!
