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. Sandburg hell hole should have been shut down Long ago. By: Harry mark Amos

I'm writing this to warn other parents about what is actually going on behind closed doors at San…read moreDimas High School. The administration here completely brushes off student safety, privacy issues, and basic classroom accountability. This ongoing issue started last year when my son had a severe boundary violation. A female staff member, Nory Gress, walked right into the boys' locker room while he was inside. My son was feeling incredibly uncomfortable and trying to change, even though he didn't want to be in that environment. When he went to report this, Assistant Principal Dr. Brianna Nix and locker room staff member Brad McKibben basically teamed up to gaslight him. They made cheap excuses, claiming it was completely fine for a female staff member to enter the boys' locker room just because my son was supposedly "not listening" and was supposed to be heading to class. Even if a student is having a hard time listening or moving quickly, sending an opposite-sex staff member into a private changing space is a massive privacy violation. To make it worse, Dr. Nix then threatened to lower his PE grade if he refused to change in there. My son was forced to keep changing in an environment where he felt totally uncomfortable just to protect his academic grades. Threatening a kid's grades to brush off a privacy complaint is completely unacceptable.Because of that incident, we asked the school for a simple, private alternative space this year--like letting him use the nurse's restroom or a single-stall bathroom to change safely. They just gave us more excuses, claiming staff bathrooms are for staff only and the nurse's room is only for sick kids. Yet, the school has no problem with double standards, considering male PE teacher Mike Regan constantly goes into the student restroom facilities instead of using adult spaces. On top of that, Mike Regan barely even teaches. He spends almost the entire PE class sitting on his cell phone scrolling social media and playing shooting games. Then he has the nerve to get visibly frustrated and yell at the students for being on their phones, dressing late, or not doing the exercises. It makes zero sense to expect teenagers to follow phone rules and do strenuous workouts when the teacher won't even put his own phone away, stand up, lead by example, or do the exercises along with them.The locker room and restroom situation overall is an absolute disaster, especially when it comes to the massive vaping and smoking issue that the staff just ignores. My son regularly deals with groups of kids passing vapes around inside the locker room itself. When he reported it directly to Brad McKibben, McKibben did absolutely nothing to address it and just gave a lazy excuse saying he "has to catch them while it's happening," completely refusing to even go inside and check on the kids.This total lack of accountability carries over to the hallway restrooms too. When my son reported kids vaping to a staff member standing right outside the restroom door, that worker literally told him he couldn't go in because he "didn't want to get in trouble for telling the kids to stop." Even after bringing this up to the principal, nothing changed. Just recently, my son found a discarded nicotine box in the bathroom and tried to hand it to a staff member on duty. The worker completely ignored him just to chat with another student. When my son got frustrated and told them they needed to start doing their jobs and take this seriously, they just brushed him off again. This school looks fine from the outside, but the staff and front office simply do not care about student safety or rules. We are looking forward to addressing this directly to the district office if there is nothing done about it by the school. If you care about your child's safety and privacy, please move schools please.

I love this high school it has an amazing staff and students I love how clean the place is and I…read morelove how organized they are

i'm going to be completely brutally honest, I have attended school recently, but not super recently…read moreand I've decided to write a review about my time because of the stories I've been hearing about the school and it looks like it's not getting any better. Let me start off with the staff most of the teachers have a good learning experience, although some may be a little too strict they still teach really good now the counselors are OK. I never had a problem with them now the vice principal is an absolute liar. I had gotten in trouble and she had lied and over, exaggerated the problem way more than it ever was. She doesn't believe the students when they are telling a story. She likes to think that she knows exactly what happened even if she wasn't even there, but when someone snitches on someone she'll believe the person that snitches even though it could be fake and doesn't even let the other person talk clearly rude to the and picks favorites and if you're not her favorite, then you're in for a long two years of your life now with student life mostly good. A lot of people are nice, but there's definitely a lot of wannabe gang bangers, which is normal in every school. There's definitely and again with the vice principal when it comes to bullying if the person that bullied someone and then goes to the office and says something she will believe the person that was doing the bullying even if they're making up a whole different doesn't go off of other people stories. She goes off of the make up in her head and the promotion too high F and you can't I get but the citizenship thing is a little excessive because what if my has a hard time focusing some of the look at focus as part of their citizenship grade and just because my son or daughter has a hard time focusing they don't get to promote which I think is odd and I don't think that's good. I think they should have the citizenship so you as a parent know how your is doing in class, but I don't think it should affect the way that you promote unless you everyone's learning experience and the two ladies that are in the front of the office. They are very rude. I don't know if they still work there but when I was there, they were really rude. I'd like to end off to say that the vice principal which I'm 99% sure that still works there makes everyone's learning environment harder and she's the stem of many of the problems at Royal Oak middle school
