  • We had just moved to the area and heard good things about Rancho Solano. Wanting the best for our child, we decided to take the leap into private school education. Our son was entering the 5th Grade and was ready for a challenge. The school had tested him and assured us that he was ready and would be supported through the transition. Then, as school started, we were told that math would be moved up from a Saxon 6-7 to a Saxon 7-8. Our son was about to skip at least 1 if not 2 years of math fundamentals. The Rancho Solano advice to our son was "pull yourself by the bootstraps" and "improve your attitude!" They never offered or provided homework assistance or tutoring. When our son started becoming frustrated, they decided to just write him up in a callous calculation to expel him for behavior and keep ALL of the full year tuition (almost $14K!). They shattered our son's confidence and self-esteem, criticizing him constantly, after a month we were forced to pull him out to prevent further damage. A word of caution; Rancho Solano wants nothing more than good willing parents to buy into the false illusion that they are a great preparatory school. In reality, they are giving children 2 hours of homework for every 45 minutes of math instruction, putting the entire burden on the children and the paying parents and ostracizing the ones that do not comply. GREAT SCAM IF YOU CAN PULL IT OFF! It is really unfair business practices to provide an inferior education, damage my child's self-confidence and then keep a full years tuition. The Admissions Director who -"administers admissions tests"-, grades them and them -"counsels families regarding next steps"- is neither a counselor nor an educator. This person's only background is in accounts payable and sales The Principal used to be the school nurse and just recently finished her on line master in Educational Leadership. Do not trust a school that does not allow transfer or withdrawal without forfeiting the entire years tuition. They are putting their investors interests ahead of your child's well-being. The only individualized instruction your child will get is from you trying to help through torturous hours of homework .
