There are a lot of racism in this school. Especially its very difficult to meet the principal as a foreign parent. The assisstance of principal is very rude and disrespectful. When asian parents spoke to her, she never tries to listen. Most of the teachers are good.

This is my daughters last year at Standley and we couldn't be happier with the seminar program she has been fortunate enough to benefit from. The teachers are exceptional, varied and all bring something to the table at about the right time. The homework load is hefty but seldom busy work. The kids

No school is perfect nor are teachers but I think Standley has the best of the best as far as seminar teachers go, not to mention their music program which compares to none. The P.E. teachers are great as well. Science is weak with the exception of Mr Pearson, he is in a league of his own. Overall, great seminar experience!!! Read less

My dtr is starting her 3rd year at Standley. I struggled all last year to communicate with her teachers and one of the two counselors at the school, with little effect. I think the teachers are, by and large, excellent and quite committed but the school culture is so very traditional. A small group

I go to Standley Middle and love it! All the teachers are nice, you get a lot of freedom to choose things, and the events we do are very fun. Also with uniforms it's easier to choose what you wear in the morning and it's easier at school because you can't be critized for what you are wearing.

Horrible school. The leadership is very antiquated and wants to run the school like an ant farm. No skills in behavior modification at all. Just horrible, I have removed my child from the school.

If you don't have a child who is in the GATE program, you are denied access to the GATE classes, which is not true at many other schools.
