    Our family loves Mariemont. They have been there for us. We are a mixed family, Samoan, Mexican and…read moreItalian. While it is true that many people here are Caucasian, I don't feel like anyone discriminates against us. The teachers have embraced our family and the other parents in my son's classes are friendly with us. It's too bad that some have had a bad experience here. I haven't been involved with the PTA beyond volunteering at the fall carnival, etc. so I can't speak to the nature of the PTA members. Elizabeth Wahl is a good principal and she reached out to me when my son was in 1st grade to help me get him into Discovery Club. My advice: take advantage of what this school has to offer academically. If you're feeling like the PTA is exclusive and homogeneous, bring a friend to the meetings! This school has a lot to offer: STORM (Special Team of Role Models); Ms. Messner is one of the MOST AMAZING educators around town; and the people in the office CARE about the well-being of the students! This school is rated a 9 or 10 by www.greatschools.org, focus on what they have to offer academically.

    So they diagnosed my son with a hearing issue stating this is what was wrong or it could even be…read moresomething developmental like ADHD. He was retained in grade K after we believed he sincerely had some type of issue since he only scribbled on papers, couldn't write well, wasn't able to read or put words/sounds together -- albeit he is a genius in math.He counts up to 200 and is 5... I took him to our Native American clinic for a screening and his pediatrician who didn't do his pre-K screening (vision and hearing) noted he hears fine, doesn't appear to have ADHD, and has a hard time seeing. I was shocked, a hard time seeing? They believed he was around 20/30 or 20/40 since he did poorly on the eye chart. Bless his pediatrician's office because he could only ready the 40 and 50's at the eye doctors without help, so they were very correct. So he has poor vision in his left eye where he needs nearly a +3.00 lense and his right eye is overcompensating for the issue and is also weakened where he needs a +1.50 in that eye. With his glasses on he clearly writes his name and can color... because he can SEE! Mariemont only wanted to blame some type of developmental issue or a hearing issue as his problem. I remember at one point being told the other kids had preschool and because he didn't that might be the issue. I stated preschool was out of our budget and I was reminded that the neighborhood is wealthier so the kids go to preschool... So their kids were automatically seen as better because they were rich and white. You'd think someone in the process would have tested his eyesight if he had a problem reading. It seems so, DUH! now but I am a first time parent dealing with an uptight school but they do this everyday so there is no excuse. I continue to state his teacher was awesome and did what he could but their administration and even other parents are the nightmare there. I am on the fence for him returning I can't do to it him even though they are considered a "good school" they are not a good school for someone with a mixed ethnic background whose parents don't net 100k+ a year.

My step-son is brilliant but undisciplined and he was allowed to "graduate" sixth grade without doing any work at all and only getting "1's" and "2's" his whole career there. My oldest step-child would've succeeded anywhere anyhow and still does..... My fifth grade daughter has had much the same experience as my son until this year. This year I've been heavily involved and her teacher is very communicative and the difference has been huge. The school goes on wonderful field trips in every grade. The music program is awesome, my daughter has class for 30min 3x's/week and is learning quickly. The office staff are typically rude. The parking lot ( pickup / drop off ) is well managed and there is a great focus on child safety and using crosswalks. There's also a crossing guard and a " lighted?" Crosswalk just for school goers. P.E. is not a large focus but I believe funding is gone for health at most elementry schools. The children do have a large field, two playgrounds, ball courts, basketball courts and a basebal / kickball backstop. The surrounding area is typical for the city except that there is an outpatient psychiatric facility about 1 mile up mission avenue. There are people often in the area that " act weird " but I've heard of nothing harmful from them. I would rather my daughter been in a different school for all previous years but I am happy with her, her teacher and myself right. I wouldn't choose to enroll another child in this school but I'm alright with my daughter finishing out this year there.

Last year, my son read a novel about a boy his age during the gold rush. At the same time, they played a game where the made choices along the way as they raced to California for the gold rush. At the end of the novel, they took a field trip to the boy's house. The teacher led them on a tour, and I even learned a lot! At the end, they panned for gold in the river. I've been to Coloma at least a dozen times, but that trip was the most fun and informative by far! I have to admit that a signed up to drive on as many field trips as I could because I had fun and learned a lot. No wonder my son loves that teacher. This year, he gets to use professional quality video equipment. They are producing news reports about the school complete with editing and b roll. Later in the year they will create submissions for the SEVA awards. Multiple students won the competition last year and many won awards the years before. My kids have a fun time and they are finally learning. My son literally didn't want summer break to start. Another great thing is the diversity of our school. Many students from the RL program volunteer after school once a week to tutor our new students from Afghanistan and Iraq. They get to experience teaching, learn how much of a difference they can make in another person's life, and learn about another culture. It's pretty wonderful. I feel very lucky to have chosen this school for my kids.

I was in this school K-6 and I am in 6th right now and it's going great since. All of my family loves this school mom, sisters, grandparent's. The school is well decorated during holidays and we have good assembly's as well. The student government are great respectful at all times and so are the staff. The yard duties keep the students on check and clean up trash if needed which is not likely.

My daughter has been attending El Rancho since Kindergarten, she is now in 1st grade. We have had such a positive experience with both the leadership staff and teachers. Due to the small class sizes, teachers are able to recognize the specific needs of each child and challenge them academically. My daughter also gets to experience learning Spanish, music, and P.E., as El Rancho also offers this in their curriculum. It is so fun to see her so self- confident when she learns a new language! El Rancho offers an amazing before and after school program, which was one of the biggest positives for the choice in enrolling our child at El Rancho. It is structured with staff involvement with organized games, crafts and study hall for upper grades. Working in healthcare, hours can get a little crazy and knowing El Rancho is available almost every day of the year is amazing! El Rancho continues to promote core values and good morals into our daughter, which is invaluable to her in her elementary school years. If you are looking for a school "home" for your child, I encourage you to visit El Rancho!
