This is my second year sending my children to SFR. One is in kindergarten and the other is in TK…read more I'm happy to say they both love their teachers and all the fun school activities. I'm very impressed by the hardworking teachers and hardworking staff. My first impression of the school was the welcoming greeting of the schools administrator/ secretary Mrs Fitzgerald. She answered all my questions and made me feel that this was the right decision for my children's education. I like it so much that I volunteer two days of the week in my daughter classroom. My husband and I feel just as strongly about our children religious education as we do about their academic education. We feel SFR meets both these high standards most assuredly. The principal Mrs Mendez has a noticeable leadership quality that makes me want to be part of the SFR Families that truly care about this school.

However, because of logistical reasons and because of a close friend (Jeannette) who recommended SFR, we decided to send our youngest child Noah.

The teachers, parent involvement and the curriculum have prepared our son for first grade. We look forward to growing our faith and our child's education in the years to come.

My mom gave me permission to write this interview to speak about what actually happened at this…read moreschool when I attended. First off, if your child is disabled and or has an IEP, please do NOT send them here. The teachers don't even follow the lEP or the child's basic needs for the majority. I remember clearly needing help with opening my food and drinks at lunch and snack breaks. There was always some lunch lady on duty to help with whatever was needed. I had a very hard time opening the milk cartons and always needed help with them. I remember this one time I asked a teachers aid to help me and she said "no I want you to try to open it yourself this time" I shrugged it off figuring she was right at that time. But soon she calls another aid over and they literally stand over watching me struggle to open it. Of course I eventually got pretty mad and she finally opened it after what seemed like a century. Second, the bullying. I was always a major target for any bully at this school. What is so funny about this is how the school always talked about a "no bullying" policy yet the teachers didn't even bother to follow it themselves. I remember my mom had had a meeting with the principal and she had told my mom I was on a "scale". Saying | was below bullying. Which I guess meant I technically wasn't being bullied despite me getting verbally abused by other children each and every day. And the one time I actually stood up for myself I was always the one to get in trouble. There was this one incident that still upsets me even almost 10 years later. Some girls were picking on me, normal stuff, but I finally had the courage to yell back. I never laid a hand on them. Just simply wanted to stand my ground. All of a sudden, my old teachers aid from TK (she still worked at the school after | was in her class), grabbed my wrists and started to pull me away from them. She was restraining me. I have sensory issues so of course this just made me more upset and even terrified. Her cold hands grabbing me and pulling me, I'll never forget that. I even told her I wasn't going to hurt them. Sorry this review was so long but thank you to anyone who reads this. I want to help kids like me who are being mistreated without anyone knowing it. I want people like me to be safe and enjoy a normal school life like any other child. Once again, if you have a disabled child, it is for their own good to not send them here. If you see something, say something.

Parents went to the school and they never notified them that my stepdaughter was getting bullied. She was locked into a bathroom stall and made my step daughter lick the toilet and the principal responded to my partner "Oh? We never called you to tell you?" Principal did not have a conversation with the parents. We never found out who the students were and who the parents were. Principal did not hold a meeting between parents or students. I would not recommend this school because if something is happening at school or in the after school program, Thing together, they try to avoid the parents. They won't notify you. The staff is a total failure. Now, they have a lawsuit coming their way.

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.

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.
