Mission Glen Elementary School

Parents love our school. Amazing support during the entire pandemic!

Stay far from this school and area. Teachers are not patient with kids and humiliation is a bullying tactic they use at this school. Do not recommend at all

As a parent, I am truly saddened that this is my son's last year at this Mission West. The education provided here has been great. The teachers are exceptional, fostering a nurturing and engaging learning environment. What sets this school apart is the principal who is extremely visible and who actively engages with students, parents, and staff. My son has thrived academically and personally, and I am grateful for the strong foundation this school has provided. It's been a fantastic journey, and we'll always cherish the memories made here.

Our family has been part of Al Nur School for many years, with our children attending since Pre-K. Four of them have already graduated and moved on to higher education, fully prepared for what came next.What sets Al Nur apart is the genuine balance between strong academics and authentic Islamic values. The Arabic, Quran, and Islamic Studies programs have been foundational for our family. My children did not just memorize; they truly understood these lessons and carried them into their daily lives.Teacher Fatimah has been with the school since the beginning and has made a lasting, positive impact on my children. Her dedication and care are exactly what you hope for in an educator.Beyond academics, Al Nur has provided a nurturing community where my kids built lifelong friendships. It is more than a school. It is a place where they felt supported, challenged, and valued.I would absolutely recommend Al Nur to any parent looking for a school that takes both education and faith seriously. It has been the right choice for our family, again and again.

The worst experience ever! I’ve tried to hold on as long as I could, but at this point, the cup has overflowed! Teachers lack accountability, and fail horribly in communicating. They get extremely offended when they’re called out whether it’s last minute field trips communicated within a day or losing a student. Nothing is ever their responsibility and anything problematic is due to the higher-ups. Absolutely absurd culture and if not careful contagious and very distasteful. Favoritism is truly seen. Was warned but tried to give benefit of doubt.

Both the primary and college prep campus are very poorly managed. For years I have seen this campus get worse, with crowded class, aggressive attendance policies, 30+ kids per class, relying heavily on state tests and student enrollment for funding, and mostly disgruntled teachers. Parents, you are late to pick up your child, you are fined even on early dismissal days. Pay extra for afterschool program? It only has one teacher handling PreK to 8th grade crammed into one room and with the students snack being borderline expired chips. Pay for school meals? School lunches are cheap low quality sysco catering. While the new College Prep campus is actually one of the nicest built campuses in the SST network, it is all for appeal because what goes on behind those doors is just for profit education and publicity stunts to reel in more funding. The reality is many parents enroll their kids into this school thinking it provides STEM only education but its just a run of the mill for profit charter school.
