Personally I think I've had the best experience in this school out of all the other schools I've attended here in California, as well as back in my home country. It might not be fair to compare schools in Glendale and the post-soviet elementary schools from my childhood to a neat and well funded school in Irvine, but I truly didn't have that many negative experiences here (by my own standards). Frankly though, if you were to ask some of my friends and peers, they might give you a very different answer, but that's their story to tell and not mine.

We’ve had a great experience with Cadence Park School. Among the elementary options in the Orange County Great Park area, this has been our preferred choice.The school has a welcoming, well organized environment, and there is strong parent involvement. The school continues to improve, with recent additions like a new building that provides more learning space for students. It has also been encouraging to see the school’s rating improve over time from 7 to 8 and now 9 out of 10.My older child recently participated in both the Puma Market and the Science Olympiad program for 4th grade and up. These were her first experiences with both programs, and they were truly meaningful for our family. Through Science Olympiad, she was exposed to advanced topics and learned from dedicated coaches and materials. In the Puma Market, she learned how to attend meetings, take notes, collaborate with a partner, calculate costs, and even take on a sales role during the event.We feel grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of this school community. Overall, we have been very happy and truly appreciate the supportive and engaging environment.
