Brush Ranch School
David M. Floyd, Director
Santa Fe, New Mexico

Brush Ranch School is a residential
September-May school that works with boys and girls, age 10-18, who
have learning differences and are unable to achieve their maximum potential
in traditional classrooms.
The school operates on a level
system and can handle students with mild behavior/emotional problems,
but the main focus is on academic problems and students who learn differently
from the approach of traditional schools. A student-staff ratio of 3:1
allows individualized attention to the needs of each student. Each student
starts with an individual education plan which is designed to foster
progress with a minimum of pressure and anxiety.
The school is located on 283
acres surrounded by the Santa Fe National Forest, and on the banks of
the Pecos River. The property was originally a dude ranch, with the
school founded in 1970 by Mr. & Mrs. Newcomb Rice. The school is
a non-profit educational institution and is accredited by the North
Central Association of Schools and Colleges and the New Mexico Department
of Education.
