This high-performing school consistently outshines the district and state in academic achievement, ranking in the top 5-10% of elementary schools in California.

Lang Ranch's academic prowess is evident across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, 81.11% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 65.1% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, 70.95% of Lang Ranch students achieved proficiency, surpassing the district's 54.42% and the state's 35.54%.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This is only a good school for kids that already get everything the first time. They fall flat for kids with disabilities. Their scores stay high because these families leave. They pretended not to receive my child's documented disabilities and did not provide him with his legally entitled free and public education. He is now scoring 3 grades lower than hu s current grade and they keep pushing him forward. Close Quote

Open Quote Excellent staff, committed parents, nurturing, professional and personalized care.
My daughter in Kindergarten writes and reads, because her teacher gives her, and each kid at class, individual attention and lets her potential flourish.
Principal is very involved, reasonable and coherent.
Community is participative and collaborative without being demanding and/or snob with parents that don't belong to PTA.
Last year, a conjunction effort by the community stopped a cell tower to be built too close to the school. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
