All parents beware of Russle Ranch Staff Member!!…read more I'm absolutely appalled this staff member is even allowed to be working along children and parents. Description of staff member a woman with gray tinker bell hair cut in her late 60s. Today I was picking my kindergartener up from school. I'm fully aware we are NOT allowed to leave our vehicles unattended. However, my child's class dismissal area was not even a foot away from my vehicle from where I was standing near my passenger door. I stood there so the could see I was present and the teacher would release my them to me where I could load my child into the car. They cannot open a SUV car door by themselves due to size. This person started yelling at all the families standing in the area saying "whose vehicle is this?" Which I understand why she was calling that question out. But this is where it went all wrong! I told her it is mine while I had my child in hand as I walked them to the car door. I was telling my child to hurry up because she was angry. And she overheard me saying that & she starts to argue to me in front of my kid as I'm strapping them into the car seat. As I begin to pull away there was two vehicles ahead of me, which were completely stopped and I motion to her to tell them to move as well, because she was screaming at me prior and I wasn't even blocking traffic. This lady proceeds to come up to my passenger window where I roll my window down to speak to her, and she proceeded to start screaming at me in front of my child. Instead of her acknowledging me and making it known to the other vehicles that they need to move also. She ended up screaming at me for the second time which this time I wasn't calm. I had to roll up my window because my child was absolutely frightened by how aggressive she was!!!!! Please note all the other families standing near my car heard her hostile tone she had out the gate towards me instead of being professional. All she has to do is tell me calmly the first time that I can't leave my car and that would of been the end of it. But because she decided to choose violence here I am leaving a honest review so families know the type of employees they hire here. I'm going to reach out to the district next because this is disgusting. Do better!

The teachers and staff take a Strategic approach on our children providing them with the tools for growth in all aspects of learning. Many of which are involved in after school programs such as; Tutoring, Chess, and sports. Our children have been enrolled now for 3 consecutive years.

We personally highly recommend Russell Ranch Elementary, as its top ranked nationally. David.

The pick up and drop off at River view stem elementary is insane. I understand that half of the…read moreparents do not live in mills ranch but to be this selfish and messy is disgusting. The school holds themself as the best school in rancho, however, they need a better system for drop off / pick ups. This mess creates an environment where kids are going to get hurt. Cars drive crazy, park wherever they feel like and pass up cars on the wrong side of the road. What are they waiting for ? Maybe only until a kid gets ran over by a car will they start to do something. I have spoken to most of my neighbors on ambassador and they have complained and reached out to the school with the same concerns. Yet the school has done nothing to fix this issue.

I love this school! The parents are so supportive, the staff is the best, and the kids are superb!…read more If you want your child to be academically challenged, make good friends, and develop an interest in STEM activities... this is the best school for your child!!!

The role of a teacher is to teach, yet my child struggles with things constantly. The teacher isn't doing the teaching. A total waste of money. They also make your kids memorize scripture, which is a worst way to instill biblical values. This makes them hate the Bible. Rather than actual teaching of the Bible, they make kids memorize verses without even knowing their context. Do we need to define the word "teacher" to this school?

She goes beyond and up for what she has done for our son. Taking the time to hand write notes about special things he does and understanding his situation. She makes me feel as a parent that my child is her only student even though I know he isn't. Words can't express what this women has done for my family and I and our precious little boy we hold so dear. I am sad to say this is his last year here but a year he will never forgot as it helped him set himself up to gain the confidence to face what this world is going to show. Thank you Mrs. Cabrera

I'm so grateful for the outstanding academics and the incredible teachers and staff who make learning enjoyable. They're always there to encourage our kids to explore and grow. And let's not forget about the emphasis on respect and kindness among all the students. It's truly inspiring to see how they treat each other with such care. The small class sizes also allow the teachers to give each student the individual attention they deserve. It's no wonder my daughter has such strong Catholic values and beliefs - this school has played a massive role in shaping them.

THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE! I was previously going through a custody battle with my children's father…read moreafter he basically parental KIDNAPPED our two children . I HAD NO KNOWN LOCATIONS FOR MY CHILDREN , THEY'RE FATHER WAS A FLIGHT RISK. I had found out my children were going to this school , I PROVIDED ALL INFORMATION SHOWING I AM THEIR MOTHER AND THEY'VE BEEN IN MY CARE (the father had his girlfriend on all the records for the school claiming she was the children's mother) this school asked for no type of proof , RECORDS, ANYTHING! I informed them they can call law enforcement (I had all proper documentation) just for the school to call their dad to immediately pick them up . This made it so much MORE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE MY CHILDREN AND CONFIRM THEIR SAFETY! This school IS HORRIBLE AND SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY AT ALL! The school must realize they were VERY WRONG because I pulled my children out of the school after involving Folsom Police in an effort to locate my children AFTER ALL THIS MESS ! They're fortunate I don't get an attorney and sue the school district for negligence. ANOTHER THING , when I called the school to inform them I have located my children and I HAVE EMERGENCY CUSTODY THE WOMAN IN THE OFFICE HAD THE AUDACITY TO ARGUE WITH ME! THIS SCHOOL IS A MOCKERY !!

Although I have long since finished my years at Brooks, I still retain fond memories of going to…read moreschool here. I lived nearby and walking was the best way to get to school. This provided many hours of developing a skill for internal contemplation. Also, I got very good at kicking the same rock to school and then home. I'm not sure how useful a review of an institution I attended well over a decade will be; perhaps you want to know how your children will turn out. I was here when they changed from the Brooks Badgers to the Brooks Bears. I think that helped me realize as an eight-year-old that mascots are bullshit. I learned to "just say no" here and have since said no at least two-thousand times. I developed my first crushes here and they never resulted in any teen pregnancies. I learned to ford a river, kill buffalo, and bury my sister who died of malaria playing a mess of Oregon Trail. I've never been arrested, so they must have taught me how to commit crimes and cover my tracks. Kidding. Sort of. An on-site vegetable garden taught me that you can eat raw beans. Or anything green and in a garden, really. I am actively involved in my community and spend time crime-fighting thanks to the superhero appreciation day in the fifth grade. That's probably a false memory, but at least I'm crime-fighting and that's what counts. I would give this five stars, but there were two huge drug busts in houses within a quarter mile of the school within the last few years. Also, I'm still bitter that I got away without actually learning long division. Then again, I made it through college without learning long division and every gadget invented in the past ten years comes with a calculator anyway.
