There is no working with this school. Admin are both single females that do not listen to reason. Many of the teachers are uncertified, hired to be teachers. They are not pro students, not pro families, not pro parents. I don't know why they are even a school. Class sizes are 30+

This school is quick to get rid of students and they do not care about their well being. My child has an IEP and instead of accommodating at this school, they push him to another school. Teachers have not allowed him to use the restroom or willing to look at his IEP. The district is not in support of the students. Please look into other schools, and even other districts or a charter school.

There are women "principals" of this school that are supposed to make certain that students are treated with dignity and respect. However, there was never a moment I felt these women cared about my students. There is a massive bullying, violence, and disrespect problem happening here which is what occurs when there is never a consequence for such behavior. They tolerate all types of bullying and violence at this school. Do not waste your time- TAKE YOUR KIDS TO A SAFE PLACE!

The micromanagement at this school comes from the top and goes all the way down. Teachers are not able to breathe unless the admin approves. Zero autonomy, nothing can be done unless the district and its cronies approve. Glendale is a horrible district that has no idea how to run schools. Most of the people at the top were promoted because they are friends with the superintendents. Teachers are underqualified, overworked, underpaid, and nearly abused. Students do not have any related arts classes and are expected to operate as robots, just as the teachers are.
