They went out of their way to help the student overcome the difficulties. In addition, I must admit that, after tutoring for 50 years, I expected to find the academic level here on the low side, but instead the school is quite demanding. Unlike the previous school, which had ignored problems for 4 years, SGCS teachers quickly perceived the problems and took effective steps to remedy them. I am impressed!!

You know, teachers that actually taught you words in 1st grade, like "Responsibility" and how to apply them. Teachers that would become your best friend later in life, and I quote "As close as it gets to being a son". Teachers that were role models, inspirations, and best friends... And on that note, RIP Pat Roldan... I think the only complaint I could possibly have about this school is... it's too close to the wash. The balls would always fly in there if we weren't careful with our aim and strength.

I can't say enough great things about St. Anthony School. As a Catholic school, they truly embody…read morethe values of inclusivity and community. The bond is strengthened every morning during their all-school morning assembly that includes prayer, flag salute, school mission statement, birthday acknowledgements and a fun cheer to start the school day. The range of extracurricular activities offered is impressive--from sports and arts to academic clubs--ensuring that every student finds something they are passionate about. The staff is deeply committed to the growth and success of each student, going above and beyond to provide both a strong academic foundation and moral development. Their dedication and care really sets this school apart. Teachers make time to communicate with parents ensuring that we all work as a team- student, teacher and parent. If you're looking for a nurturing and well-rounded education for your child, I highly recommend St. Anthony School.

I've had a crazy busy day running errands while juggling a baby since drop off. When I came to pick up my kids the same place I dropped them off it was a little confusing since it's new. Apparently I was at the wrong location for pick up. I make my way around feeling a bit anxious now but I see one of my children and gave a little honk as I see her and her teacher walk away. The principal Linda, right away screamed out no honking you gotta get out. So I parked and I pulled my baby out, there I explained I came by to the same spot I dropped them off at and her response was "if you were here yesterday you would've known this is where pick up is because I explained it" in front of other parents. On top of being anxious, exhausted, and lost now I am completely embarrassed. Now my child has walked away from where I can no longer see or call for her as she walks towards the office. I got back in my car buckled my son back up and parked again now for the 3rd time and I got out once more to the other pick up area for my other child when I was told my younger one can walk to my older one and I can do one pick up instead of two by the office staff. I felt she could've explained and guided me instead of being rude and insulting me in front of other parents. As well as being more understanding since it is the first day of school after all. Not a great first impression.

Don't get be wrong, I'm not trying to be bias just because I went to school here, but because I been to a lot of the other middle schools, none of them have as safe of a campus as well as the amount of great staff that actually cares about students well being. I have been visiting many schools the past ten years, from volunteering to just pure visiting, and if you're thinking between Garvey Intermediate, Temple, Ynez, and all the other schools, please put Garvey as your consideration! Because trust me, your kid won't miss a thing. Best of all, there are many electives kids can choose from. From arts to choir, from band to yearbook and journalism. Why go private at New Ave school when you can save a bunch of money trying out a public middle school? From a lot of my friends that went to private schools they claim that private didn't teach them anything, but was just more enforced on the dress codes and rules. Not saying it's bad to go to private or anything but think of all the money you save!

When I was attending my middle school, we had a much smaller 8th grade class because there are 13 middle schools in Alhambra. At San Marino's middle school, the class is probably 3 or 4x larger. The parents, guests, and I truly appreciate the staff calling the names of the graduates two at a time, it saves a lot of time! Their field is really spacious and even on the black top, everyone was able to take photos with their loved ones! Parking wasn't a hassle this year, because we decided to park behind the school (which is super super close to the field where they held the graduation ceremony). Such a beautiful ceremony! Congratulations to my wonderful and amazing cousins, Karen and Ethan!

When we…read morefirst enrolled, there were around 250 students, but like many schools, enrollment dropped after COVID. While that was hard to see, the school has grown into something even more special. What makes this place stand out is its intimate and caring community. Every child and staff member knows each other by name, and they genuinely care for one another. Friendships here grow from genuine kindness and love, reflecting the core values of a Catholic education. Because of the small class sizes, teachers are able to give each student so much individual attention--it truly feels like a gift. The academic support is outstanding, and students thrive because they get the time and focus they need. Beyond academics, kids here learn to be kind, polite, and caring. Some may view this as a sheltered environment, but I believe kids deserve a safe and loving place to grow. Childhood should be about nurturing their hearts and minds--there's plenty of time later to face life's pressures. Let kids be kids; the challenges of adulthood will come soon enough. If you're considering this school, I encourage you to talk to the other parents. It's a place where children not only receive excellent academic preparation but also grow into compassionate and grounded individuals. Tuition is fair, especially considering the small class sizes and the level of personal attention students receive.
