School Profile

Ranchito Avenue Elementary School is located in Panorama City, California. We are an urban-based community school with a predominately Hispanic population. Our families reside primarily in multi-family residences, with one-third in single family homes. We serve approximately 450 Pre-kindergarten - 5th grade students. Approximately 90% of our students qualify for free or reduced price lunch. The major ethnic groups are Latino, Armenian, Thai, Filipino and White, and the predominant languages spoken in our school community are Spanish, Armenian, and English.

 

Ranchito is proud to offer a School for Advanced Studies Program and Spanish Dual Language Academy. Our school provides individual student academic assessment results to parents in core curricular areas throughout the school year. The results are explained and discussed with parents during parent meetings and parent-teacher conferences. School-wide and grade-level data is presented during parent committee and council meetings, in newsletters and other school mailings. All correspondence is translated into Spanish. Progress reports are shared in the parents' home language three times annually. Families of those students who are at-risk of not meeting grade-level standards are given a warning notice providing information regarding the areas in which the student is needing additional support.
