    We are so grateful for the wonderful experience our son - Robin had at this school. Mrs. Anderson…read morehas been an absolutely amazing kindergarten teacher -- caring, patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about teaching. She made our son feel safe, loved, and excited to learn every single day. We have seen tremendous growth in his confidence, academics, and social skills this year. One thing that really stands out about this school is how genuine and personal the environment feels. It is incredible how the teachers and staff remember every child's name as well as the parents. From morning drop-off to pick-up, they always greet families with warmth and kindness, which makes everyone feel welcomed and valued. That level of care and attention truly means so much to parents. The entire school staff has been supportive and dedicated throughout the year. It is clear that the teachers genuinely care about each child's development and well-being, not just academically but emotionally too. Thank you, Mrs. Anderson and the entire school team, for making kindergarten such a memorable and meaningful experience for our family. We will always appreciate the love, dedication, and positivity you bring to your students every day.

The entire school staff are so dedicated to the kids and families at Stratford in helping them succeed and become leaders. We could not be happier with this amazing school community who values every child and family that walks through their doors!! We highly recommend this school and are so excited to be part of this wonderful community!!!

    Honestly this school sucks. Let me start by saying the faculty suck. The assistant principal has…read morewalked into the girls bathroom multiple times while the bathroom in use. And this is just isn't right and the principal had some weird behavior, now I love this school but the school has some questionable behavior. My science teacher has had some questionable behavior and was almost fired but they didn't fire him and still let him teach and let me tell you he doesn't teach, he sits behind the desk not teaching and I come home with Fs in the class and when I come up to him asking about school home work and assignments I am greeted by a trash pick up or the office. Needless to say the school pride is great, half the faculty is great and the principle makes the school feel amazing, I'm honestly glad that Mr Rubio is not going to be there anymore because his behavior is very questionable. The drama teacher has some weird behavior too, he showed are class some inappropriate things and was also suspended. Honestly this school is very meh. It's common for teachers to get suspended and come back because of the poor performance of the school. I would wish to see action taken and more accountability to the school

    I think it's sad to see such negative ratings about a school. I almost feel like a few of the…read morereviews were written by students, and aren't actual experiences written by parents. Anyway, I wanted to say that my daughter has had a great experience attending RSM. Sure every school has it's positives and negatives, but Yelp is not the spot to rant and rave about a bad teacher they may have had or an incident where a student got in trouble with the Principal. It is about the overall experience and RSM overall left us with many positive experiences. One thing that I really like is that the school has a great communication system. I like their weekly Roadrunner express emails letting me know all of the school information of what's to be expected that is coming up, currently happening, contact information and just general information. They also send out phone calls and email reminders on early dismissal reminders, holiday schedules, state testing and large school events, so that parents can be extra prepared. It's nice that they almost "over remind" you, just in case you forget as life gets quite busy for many parents with things pulling you in many directions, which seems to be the case these days. I also like the fact that she has made many friends from different schools since I believe that RSM is a culmination of students from Robinson, Trabuco, Cielo Vista, Melinda Heights, Foothill Ranch, and Trabuco Mesa. She will hopefully carry many of these new friendships she has made over onto her four years of high school and onward. It's always good to increase your elementary school circle of friends with new faces. Yes, not every school is for everyone and RSM is definitely not perfect by any means, but I say don't knock it until you try it. Mr. Bjorek, Ms. Gibson, and Mr. Morgan are great Principals and work hard to try and make RSM Intermediate a great place for the students.

That being said, I believe it's the best school in OC and one of the best in the country--as its top 40 National Ranking confirms. The academics are second to none, especially the International Baccalaureate program. It more than prepares the students for college and offers some of the best counseling. The arts program is also superior. The theater program won the top prize for high school musicals and have also had several best actor and actress awards. The orchestra and choir are also top-notch winning their share of awards as well. The sports program is well known and established as one of the best as well. Not only do they win CIF titles in football, basketball and baseball, but also in soccer, water polo, golf, etc. The school makes an effort to be excellent at every level. It doesn't just focus on one area and forget about all others. Instead it makes every effort to provide 100% support behind every endeavor.

I think God is protecting him from this school & I thank Him for that, but I'm posting this so others can be cautious about how they operate.

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Amy and her college counseling services at Great…read moreCollege Fit. After our son, Mason, interviewed three potential counselors, it was clear that Amy was the perfect fit for him. Her extensive knowledge of colleges--considering academics, social environment, and degree programs--gave us a tremendous sense of relief, especially since we weren't sure where to start for choosing the best college fit for him and his particular major. Amy worked closely with Mason one-on-one throughout the entire process, allowing me to take a step back and trust that everything was in great hands. We met with her once to review his top choices and provide our input, and from that point forward, Amy handled everything seamlessly. Having gone through the college application process with my daughter for nursing two years ago--doing all the research and applications --I can confidently say that working with Amy made all the difference. What was once a stressful experience became an enjoyable and exciting journey for both my son and me. Amy took the time to truly understand Mason by assessing his personality and needs, introducing us to schools both in-state and out-of-state that we had never even considered. Her guidance on essays and her support in navigating the complex application process were invaluable. She managed the intricate details, ensuring deadlines were met and applications were submitted smoothly. Amy has been an absolute dream to work with, and we are now eagerly awaiting Mason's acceptance letters. This experience has been a world apart from the stress I faced when helping my daughter. My son adores Amy, and we do too. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to finding the best college fit for your child, we wholeheartedly recommend Amy at Great College Fit.

    Amy held me accountable and kept me disciplined, stayed kind and energetic, and it's very clear she…read moretruly cares deeply about each person she helps. Amy's guidance and "no stupid questions" attitude has made the transition from high school to adulthood feel so much less daunting, and with her help I was able to get into every single school I applied to! Thanks Amy!
