Since opening its doors in 1990, Bryant Ranch has the reputation for being a community hub of innovation and exploration, where adults and students are nurtured in a caring environment to become life long learners. Bryant Ranch is located in a middle class neighborhood with homes, condominiums, and apartment complexes, in what used to be a sprawling California Ranch. Many parents tell us they moved into the Bryant Ranch attendance area specifically for the school's excellent reputation of high academic performance, the meeting of student needs, and service to its community.

We have an extremely active PTA priding itself on strengthening the school by providing over 30 support programs/enrichment opportunities for parents and students. The community's interest in Bryant Ranch is evidenced by the 24,000 annual volunteer hours and the 97% attendance at Back-To-School Night.

As part of our commitment to the community, Bryant Ranch teachers place a high priority on collaboration, professional growth, and enrichment opportunities. Weekly collaboration takes place in both formal and informal settings. Shared leadership and professional empowerment are tenets all Bryant Ranch teachers follow; evidenced in the professional responsibilities assumed by a number of staff members, including: Team Leader, Disaster Preparedness, STAR Testing Coordination, Technology, GATE, and after-school musical production.

Technology is a focal point for both community and staff, with the school completely wired for present and future needs; a strong technology team has developed a comprehensive 5-year plan. Monthly after-school technology in-service opportunities are provided to meet the needs of staff members at various levels of proficiency.

Bryant Ranch is not only continually acclaimed by the community, but was recognized as a California Distinguished School in 1993 and 2002, and again in 2006. In 1994, the school was also honored with the National Blue Ribbon award, and received this honor once again in 2003. Our school began simply, as a school upon a hill in the farthest point east in our district. Through the combined hard work of parents, teachers, administrators, students, and the community, Bryant Ranch School has evolved into the proud academic institution that it is today!
