Review for Sandburg Middle School Our family has lived in…read moreGlendora since 1996, and we truly love this community. My husband served as a local pastor for many years, and I spent three decades as an educator, including teaching in nearby Azusa. Our five daughters grew up here, so our family has deep roots and friendships throughout Glendora. Today I am a grandmother, and two of my grandchildren attend Sandburg Middle School. We appreciate the many teachers and staff who work hard every day to support students. Our family does face some health challenges. My grandchildren live with autoimmune conditions that sometimes cause physical pain and emotional strain, and their mother -- a dedicated social worker -- manages lupus and fibromyalgia while continuing to work full time and care for her children. Because of this, occasional issues with absences or timing can arise. One small example happened this morning when my daughter arrived just one minute late turning in a required form. The immediate response from the front office was "no exceptions." Several minutes were spent explaining the rule, when perhaps those same few minutes could have been used to help find a solution -- such as assisting with submitting the form to the staff in the gymnasium. Policies are important, but so is the tone in which they are delivered. A moment of empathy and problem-solving can make a tremendous difference for families navigating health challenges or difficult circumstances. As a retired educator who worked closely with the Los Angeles County Office of Education, I have seen how impactful empathy training and family-centered leadership can be. My hope is that Glendora Unified School District continues to strengthen training for staff and administrators in areas such as empathy, cultural awareness, and understanding the mental and physical health realities many families face today. Glendora is a wonderful community, and with continued growth in these areas, our schools can reflect the same care, flexibility, and support that make this city such a special place for families.

I attended Sandburg school in the late 1960s. I was a victim and witness of child abuse as a…read morestudent at Sandburg And will relate the following. During those years I had severe asthma and weighed about 90 pound. another student attacked me and I was compelled to defend myself. Both of use were sent to the vice principal for fighting. The vice principal Gadel hit both of us with a large wooden paddle leaving welts. On another occasion I witnessed a gym coach Moses grab another students penis in the locker room and said " let me help you with that ". These experiences negatively affected me throughout my remaining school years. I did not want to participate in any school activities I just wanted out.

Sonrise Christian School is a welcoming and well-rounded place for kids to grow both academically…read moreand spiritually. The teachers truly care about their students and go the extra mile to provide a safe, encouraging, and structured environment. The smaller class sizes make it easier for kids to get individual attention, and the staff communicates well with parents so you always feel included in your child's progress. What I appreciate most is the balance Sonrise offers -- strong academics paired with a faith-based foundation and values that carry over into everyday life. It's not just about getting good grades; kids also learn character, responsibility, and respect for others. If you're looking for a school that supports both education and personal growth, Sonrise is an excellent choice.

Their theater space is amazing, one of the nicest I've seen on a high school campus. Tonight we came to see " Little Shop of Horrors". All the students acted, sang, and danced their hearts out. We really enjoyed it! It's great to see family, peers, and teachers come to watch and support them.

My niece attends Royal Oak middle school. This is her first year and it's been nothing but a…read morehorrible experience. They allow bullying at this school. Her dad has talked to the school, principal, counselors and teachers with absolutely no help. They know who the problem kids are and they do nothing about it. Her dad even went to the school district for help. They told him, go back and speak to the school because they know the student. My niece is autistic and was put in a regular class, expected to fend for herself. The year started with bullying, now they torment her and the school and the district sit in their offices with their arms crossed and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Special needs children are covered under the disability act. They have the right to attend school like the other kids. I guess the only way to solve this is to take legal action and get the media involved. Maybe then they will go into damage control!

My son is not a scholar nor part of any GATE programs. He's more into athletics. He likes the school - which is good because his lil brother will be here the next 2 years. Some teachers are better than others just as any school. Plenty of parking and drop off/pick up isn't too bad. Compared to some of the Elementary schools in the area I'd say the pick up and drop off is fantastic. There is a member of staff. The kids know here as grandma and she makes things flow in the morning and afternoon. The field here is pretty bad. AYSO uses this field too and not much to say about the field bedsides ugh ‍. The gymnasium is cool. Plenty of room. The coaches they bring in for sports are cool too The few times that I've dealt with staff they have been friendly and responsive.
