Glendale High School

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 at games and school events, which shows how much she cares. The new front office staff has also been kind and helpful. My children’s teachers send regular updates on the Bloomz app, respond quickly, and clearly care about my kids. I also appreciate all the event reminders and updates on Bloomz. I like how helpful the older students are, too. They’ve helped children get to class and even learn how to use the computer. You can tell the administration truly cares and works very hard. I’m very happy with Glendale American!

Such a terrible school! The pick up line is so unorganized. Parents don’t care about anyone but themselves. Act like they are the only ones picking up. There should be rules or close off part of pick up line.

As a parent of a child with a disability I did not find this school inclusive at all. My child came from her previous school where she was part of a general education classroom with support. I was told that this was not possible at William C Jack elementary and the only placement that they could provide was Cross-categorical Autism classroom. I had an IEP meeting and asked if I could observe the classroom to make sure it was the right placement and was denied at the IEP meeting. I also felt that the team felt that they were gonna make decisions on my child’s placement and my input didn’t matter. Future more they didn’t provide services or honor the previous IEP. My child came home and complained constantly about being hit and kicked by another student while she was in the Autism classroom. The curriculum they provided in the classroom left me feeling disgusted and nauseous.I ultimately removed my child from the school.

This principal creates a completely toxic environment. She constantly yells at, belittles, and criticizes teachers and staff in front of others, making it clear that intimidation is her go-to management style. You hear her complaining, gossiping, and talking down to people all the time, which makes the whole school feel tense and unsafe. Staff morale is nonexistent, and it’s obvious that fear and favoritism drive how things get done instead of support or collaboration. It’s exhausting to see, and it really undermines the entire learning environment for students.

I am a current student at this school and I want to leave so bad. This school is terrible and sucks at teaching. They don’t care about the students they treat the students differently and bully’s them. The food here is DISGUSTING it’s undercooked and just NASTY. The students here are worse they talk about drama left and right and they make up stuff for fun or just because they are bored. DONT BRING YOUR KID HERE.

Good School Overall. Better options elsewhere as far as teachers go.
