Went here Class of 2018. Overall, the school itself in terms of facilities aren't too bad in my…read moreopinion. I happened to be someone into the arts at the time (still am). I have been in many art classes at the school such as, Ceramics, Drawing and Painting, also AP Art. I also have participated in Drama Club and happened to be the club president in my senior year. I am someone who was into music as well. However, in terms of choir classes...I've noticed during my time at the school, many students in the choir are pretty pretentious I felt. Which in turn, caused me not to join. With how the school is structure-wise, I'm not really mad at it. It's more so the actual students I've come across and how the faculty deal with issues particularly regarding mental health. I wasn't really a "popular" kid, but wasn't that much of an outcast either. I was somewhere in between. When it came to the people I was hanging out with on a daily basis, we were doing things that normally people do in high school. Chill, hang out, and joke around. If I'm being honest, in high school, I was someone who had mental issues especially with suicidal ideations. Due to issues I had outside of high school at the time. Thankfully I'm not there mentally anymore. However, I didn't really have much support outside of my friends at the time. It felt hard to talk to somebody, but one day I brought it up to my counselor... Well after I did, it made things a lot worse. Essentially it separated me from my family, and I felt alienated from the students when I told them the issues I had at the time. A particular friend I had who I considered to be my best friend, I confided in her and I was basically shamed for it. The next day, she never spoke to me again after that. I had another friend, who actually was trying to get to the bottom root of the issue and I dismissed her which I still feel bad for. There was another person who I thought was a friend, but actually secretly did not like me. She was someone known to start drama. After these events happened, I was alienated from my main circle and others. Felt embarrassed during graduation day and overall I have mainly known people who are really deep down fake. Well, it's expected from a place like California. I was happy to leave considering I didn't have to see or talk to most of the people I knew there ever again. However, it feels bittersweet because while I don't want anything to do with this school or the memories associated...it feels tough to know that looking back I didn't have a good experience. Doesn't mean the school itself is horrible, it's the social life that came with it and how I was treated that did not feel good.

The new principal is warm, visionary, and highly efficient. He quickly offered support and space to other schools affected by the fire, which was incredibly generous. Our child joined the TK class, and Ms. Markis has been wonderfully caring and encouraging. Our child is excited to go to school every day and comes home eager to share what new things they've learned. There are Spanish lessons three times a week, and the TK teacher has even introduced some Chinese daily vocabulary, very practical. The kids get along really well, and the learning environment is positive.

Coolidge Elementary is a great elementary school in the San Gabriel School District. The parents…read moreare heavily involved in helping their children. This includes PTA meetings, fundraisers, programs that raise money for the school and overall participation in the activities of their children. I went to this school back in the day for my elementary days. A lot has changed as the classes have become more modernized and more up to date. The school has a large multipurpose field, two playgrounds, black top area, computer lab, library, basketball courts, outdoor seating and a cafeteria. There is also a separate day care center for day care as well as after school care. The teachers I had all retired from this school but they were monumental for my middle school and high school endeavors. In order to go to this school you must live in a certain radius. You can petition to go to this school if you're not in the radius. There is a drop off area to drop your kids off in front of the cafeteria but it does get busy when it is near school time. There is a crossing guard that is always looking out for children and parents so you don't have to worry about getting run over by the busy Mission Road/ Roses Road intersection. Coolidge is a CA distinguished school with high test scores year round. If you want a great elementary school and want to keep life long friends, this is the school to go to.

Our experience with this school has been completely positive. We have had two kids go through the…read morepreschool program and we couldn't be happier. There are a couple things that I think are worth pointing out to highlight. Curriculum This is no glorified day care where kids are playing all day. There is structured time for the kids throughout the day. My kids learned important life skills needed in the classroom, and had plenty of time to learn through play as well. The staff also gives updates through focused parent teacher meetings that allow you to track the progress and development of your kid as the year goes on. This was incredible helpful for us. Teachers The teachers our boys had were incredible. Kind, caring, intentional, engaging, patient, and supportive. But if I can highlight one thing, is that they are excellent at communicating with parents. They really helped to foster a parent/teacher partnership to help reinforce important values being taught. They helped thinking of out of the box approaches to help students become more engaged, and pass those along to parents. Any concerns were brought up promptly and were addressed. Overall we have been incredibly thankful for the staff and school. The support, care, and compassion they have for the students is immeasurable. We couldn't be happier.

We've had such a wonderful experience with the preschool program at Arcadia Christian School. As a…read moreparent, one of the things I appreciate most is knowing that our son is surrounded by teachers who genuinely care about him and are willing to communicate and partner with us through his different developmental stages. It has been so rewarding to see how much he has learned and grown since starting preschool. His vocabulary has expanded so much, he comes home singing Christian worship songs, and he's even started picking up Spanish words and singing songs in Spanish that he learned at school. Those little moments truly warm my heart because we get to see firsthand how much he is absorbing throughout his day. I also really appreciate the communication and involvement they provide for parents. We receive weekly schedules so we can follow along with what the children are learning and reinforce those lessons at home. His teachers have also been patient and communicative as we navigate milestones such as potty training, and I appreciate their willingness to work together with us and hear what has been successful at home. Most importantly, we love knowing that our children are learning in a Christian environment where faith is incorporated into their everyday experience. We also have a second grader at ACS, so our experience extends beyond the preschool program. We've been able to see firsthand the quality of education he is receiving while also watching him continue to grow in his knowledge and understanding of God. For any parents who have been praying and contemplating where to send their children, I would definitely recommend considering ACS, whether for preschool or K-12. Choosing where your children will spend so much of their time and who will help shape and teach them is such an important decision. We're grateful to have found a school where our children can grow academically, socially, and spiritually.

I really love how diverse Monrovia is. We had the option of transferring to Arcadia or Monrovia…read morefrom our daughter's private school and we chose to go with Monrovia for a few reasons: 1. Diversity, diversity, diversity... Did we mention diversity? As an Asian American family, I wanted my daughter to be able to have a great amount of exposure to other cultures and not just ours. From personal experience of growing up with limited cultural exposure, I've often found myself in many awkward situations where I was clueless on what the social norm was... It eventually worked out but I want my daughter to be exposed earlier to a group of people different than what we offer at home so that she can learn. 2. The little town feel. Through my church we donate lunch to our school districts' teachers..... I mean, who does that anymore?! But I'm grateful Monrovia does and we're able to show our gratitude for the teachers. 3. The education offered at Mayflower elementary. We love that they teach programing from kindergarten!! In a world like today... This is so valuable!!
