MISSION STATEMENT
The primary mission of Ranch View school is to create and maintain a safe learning environment where all students are challenged, nurtured, and motivated to learn and grow. The priorities include not only academic skills; but also social, interpersonal, communicative, and decision making skills to become informed citizens in our democratic society.
VISION
Ranch View is a place where children feel safe. It is a place where all children can learn to the best of each individuals ability. It is a place where being a good citizen is expected and those who live up to the challenge are rewarded. It is a place where all adults: certificated staff, classified staff, and parents, work together for the good of the students. A dedicated and caring staff provides engaging opportunities for learning and sets high goals for achievement. Students are encouraged to begin at their levels and strive to meet and then go beyond the grade level standards set by the State. Parents are very important partners in the education of their children.
