In response to the posting about the 4/5 class there is no plan for this next year. I work at the school. The plan was for the k-3 classes. Multi-Age classes will always be a reality due to the small size of our school. It makes sense to build a strong multi-age program when the school has combos
... Read more every year. The teachers researched what would be the best program for our students and our school. The new program has been successful in Pleasanton schools for over 30 years! Parents need to stop berating programs, classes, teachers, etc and lend a helping hand to make them as successful as possible. Our teachers are working hard and are collaborating to implement this amazing program. You can't judge until you observe the classes. Inside the classroom, the students are thriving and happy:) Read less

I'm a mom of 3. One of my children graduated Sunol Glen two years ago and is a high school sophomore now. One is still at the school. I have a 3rd who is not yet school aged. We actually live in Pleasanton, which is one of the 'best' school systems in the Bay area. People move to our town just to

I'm very hard to please when it comes to my kids education and in the 7 years we have been a Sunol Glen family, I've always felt my kids were getting a great education in the best environment. The new Prinicipal is awesome, we are lucky to have her. Anyone who is unhappy with Sunol Glen, I will say this: No one is forcing you to keep your kids there, so you can always feel free to pull them out. Read less

We love this school! I too, was part of the Mission school district's test oriented culture. After watching almost every aspect of creativity and fun taken from my children's education I began searching for a private school. One that supported the whole child with science and math as well as art and

Imagine my surprise as all celebrations at my children's current school had been eliminated. I have only one very happy child there now, my older daughter graduated last year. Her amazing academic and social experience at Sunol Glen's middle school allowed her entrance to a top rated college prep school only taking 1 in 4 applicants. I attribute this to the great teachers, supportive staff and excellent leadership of Mrs. Barns! Read less

We are in our sixth year at Sunol Glen, with a 5th grader and a 1st grader. Both children are thriving and excelling in all areas - academically and socially. The new teachers that have joined the staff in the past couple of years have enhanced the school greatly. I am thrilled with the K/1 & 2/3 combo
... Read more classes this year. It provides opportunities for growth at all levels and nurtures a supportive environment for both the younger and older students. It also provides opportunity for more 'level'-based teaching, as opposed to kinder, first, etc. It saddens me to hear of parents badmouthing the school and its leadership. As parents, we should all step up in support, even if there is disagreement on specific issues. It is in the best interest of our children to all work together to build up, rather than tear down a great school and its staff. Read less

For 5 years my kids have attended Sunol Glen, the oldest being a sophomore in high school now. The caring teachers and the new high bar of educational excellence has raised my opinion of Sunol Glen in the last two years. We have lost a few veteran teachers but replaced them with fabulous new and experienced
... Read more teachers who have brought new gifts to teaching our children. The experience includes an environment where kids become confident individuals and are not caught up in the social trappings of larger schools. They have a one on one relationship with the teachers and all staff at the school. Being an involved parent lets me see the true quality of this school, from inside the classroom to being involved in the Community Club for parents and on various committees to benefit the school. Be careful to judge too soon...take time to savor the full effect! Read less

Grades K through 3 are split classes (K/1 and 2/3). Next year they plan on a 4/5 class. Composite classes only work for one grade level in each group. I think this is a horrible mistake for Sunol Glen. I am glad my children are not affected by this change. I would have pulled them from the school.

This school is an amazing place for students to thrive and become well-rounded, respectful and amazing students. I am in classes on a daily basis and I can tell you all our teachers are unbelievable. The new multi-age program was the vision of our K-3 teachers with Mrs. Rad at the forefront. I think

My children have been at Sunol Glen for over 5 years and I can tell you that I won't want them anywhere else. This school still has Instructional Aides, Music, Art, Computers and prep time for our teachers. All these things have been cut from the neighboring schools. Please start looking at all Sunol Glen has to offer as well as observe in the actual classrooms. Parents should stop listening to the misinformation and gossip spread on the playground! Read less
