| 6/23/2012 | parent | I am a parent of two kids going to Ramona. My kids love their school. I have never had a problen with their academics work. The teachers and principal are very involved the all the students academic work and they are very nice as well. I will recommend Ramona to any parent to enroll their children. |
| 3/1/2012 | parent | I have been a parent with 3 kids going to Ramona. My oldest is in 5th grade in the TWBI (Spanish Program). That program is very challenging and is amazing. He speaks Spanish fluently and we are an English only family. I do not recommend the immersion program if Spanish is a family's primary language. Too bad that the 5th grade teacher this 2011-2012 year has had a long sick leave and there have been 2 long term subs. Other than this year all the other years were great! My girl is in 3rd and chose English only. She has done very well. Her teachers have been great and they are very caring. The only drawback is some other children are noisy and the whole class suffers because of it. Computer lab time or checking out books from the library can't happen with misbehaving students. My 3rd child had Spanish for K, but the Spanish program was very difficult for him, so he is now in English 1st grade. He is catching up fine, but this year class sizes increased and that is a disadvantage for him. The parent involvement is lacking. The most involved parents are in the amazing TWBI program. The PTA is always begging for support but are more active than some other schools. |

| 5/12/2010 | parent | My child loves this school. The teachers are nice and overall looks very clean. They seem to care about the students. |
| 2/27/2008 | parent | I have two children in the two way bilingual immersion program. They are learning Spanish. We do not speak Spanish at home. At times it can be very challenging because the homework is in Spanish. However, I have seen my children excel. They are able to have a conversation with someone in Spanish. Not only are they speaking in Spanish, but reading and writing also. The teachers are wonderful. Once a month there is a parent meeting and the teachers share ideas that parents can use to help their children at home. Other parents have been very helpful, especially with homework questions. It's easy to call another parent on the phone during homework time and they are willing to help. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants their child to learn Spanish and English at the same time. |
| 8/24/2006 | former student | I was a student at Ramona about 3 years ago and I really liked it they supported me a lot and they had great materials and I just overall enjoyed being there. This school is probably the best school I have gone to because I went to Hawthorne middle school and I didn't really enjoy my time there, and I am about to enter 9th grade in Hawthorne high school, but I think my favorite school will always be Ramona. |
| 4/19/2006 | parent | There are no extracurricular activities, I have had good experiences with the teachers. The curriculm seems good I feel my daughter is being challenged in her class. The school does have a 'gate' program. The teachers encourage the students to progress and offer extra and harder work for the students who are bored in class. I feel the principal handles behavior problems quickly. My daughter was having issues with other students and the problem was resolved immediately. |
| 8/22/2005 | parent | Good school, the school as a whole looks out for the best interest of the students to help prepare them for the future. |
