The school is smaller than the average elementary public school, which allows it to focus on education better than the larger schools. My daughter has been at the school for under 2 years and she has excelled in her learning development, thanks in part to her Teachers and supportive classmates.

All test prep all the time an AMAZINGLY WELL FUNDED pe department. My son has had 4-5 long term subs in English ……..the first one said at open house that they didn’t know what they were doing because there were no lesson plans. It’s March, and he hasn’t read a book in English or performed a play in drama. On back to school night I had to correct students running down the hall, shouting profanities, and talking so loud I could not hear the teacher presentations……. without a blink from their teachers..Many of our friends got into Monterey highlands to avoid the school. I see my optimism was a huge mistake. Garvey has zero continuation of learning from the elementary schools as it goes into full-on test prep at the expense of a worthwhile education..Garvey has always been a school that students must make it through before getting into the Alhambra district. And I’ve taught 7th grade for 23 years and graduated from Garvey.
