I began working here this school year and it has been an extremely positive experience. The principal includes special education students in every opportunity. The staff is pleasant and makes the workplace enjoyable.

Both of my daughters went through Carol Rae Ranch from K-6 grade. The teachers here were loving and supportive. I love the atmosphere of the school from the minute you walk in. The front office staff is wonderful as are all the teachers from the classroom to the special areas. They have a wonderful SPICE program that teaches the students empathy and understanding of students that are different. I cannot recommend this school highly enough.
