I have been very impressed with Glendale American. The administration is friendly and communicates well. They host many fun events, and the principal really knows her stuff. She worked hard with her staff to help my children and me, and I was very happy with the support we received. I often see her

It deeply saddens me to share this review, as I believe every student deserves a safe and nurturing environment to learn and grow.My daughter observed instances of bullying th
Posted by a parent on 11/6/2023Endless meetings and PDs, teachers don’t have much time for planning or even bathroom. Teachers are forced to take work home all the time. The school has a lot of misbehaving kids, but their parents tend to claim that they are being bullied actually the opposite. The class size is typically over 23
Posted by a community member on 8/29/2023I do not recommend in Glendale American if you want your kids to get a great education.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSunset has been a wonderful school for my daughter! She has learned so much and grown! When we moved to Arizona she went to Surprise Elementary and it wasn’t the best experience. Huge shout out to all the teachers so many I appreciate I couldn’t even begin to say. But I will say EVERY SINGLE person that works and takes care of our kids there are the top tier of choices. Natalia is the front office goes above and beyond for the kids and parents. Thank you for everything you’re all amazing! Thank you!Parent Review5mo ago - Heritage School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school will have your child signing contacts without parents consent and won’t tell parents until after the fact. I had to take my children out of this school and get a variance to put them into school elsewhere. I do not recommend this school. If I could give ZERO stars I would.Parent Review9mo ago - Christ the Redeemer Lutheran School and Preschool
