Tustin Ranch Elementary opened in 1995 and was the first of the “Ranch” style schools in the Tustin Unified School District. We serve approximately 550 students and we are the home of the Cool Coyotes. Our mascot is “Rocky the Cool Coyote,” a name the students selected in 2011. We have a uniquely positive school climate that is a result of dynamic teaching, strong community involvement and an outstanding student body.
Mission Statement: Tustin Ranch Elementary School is committed to developing confident and responsible learners who aspire to achieve their personal best through critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. Our goal is to provide an inclusive, safe and supportive learning environment that celebrates diversity and promotes empathy.
