I went there in the early 70's and they had a smoking area and kids were smoking pot everywhere Today it's just worse! They now use vape pot pens everywhere !! Bullying is a huge problem and counselors absolutely do not do anything ! Kids just hope to get thru class everyday! No incentives to try harder I thought teachers are suppose to do that? But hey parents it's up to you read more

I graduated from GHS in 1965! Our class was the first class that went all 4 years. The school was new. I had great teachers all years! With one exception, Mr Garland for latin! He would get mad and throw a desk! Then there was Miss Rose, a young well built english teacher in my freshmean year. Had her for senior English. By then she was Mrs Zastrow and the boys still liked her! Of course, the senior tree was special. I heard it is no longer there! read more

First, let me start by saying that there are some really great things about this school and some amazing teachers. Some teachers have been extremely motivating and encouraging to students. And, there are more good things than bad. But, I want to write this to hopefully help other parents make a better choice for you kid. I moved to Glendora for the school district. It was great for elementary school. However, the high school has been extremely disappointing on so many levels. First of all, if you want your child to be college ready or competitive for college admissions, you would be better off sending them to Bonita Unified or Claremont, OR even better is the California School of the Arts in Duarte, if your child is into the arts. It's a free public school that prepares students for college. Another disappointment are the terrible fields at GHS. They don't even have a football field, and their track is horrible. The middle schools have better athletic fields than the high school. Their communication with parents is also terrible, especially for parents of incoming freshman. As a parent with a first time GHS student, you will be lost when it comes to knowing about what kinds of programs are offered and how to get your kid into certain programs. Unfortunately, your first child will be your guinea pig in understanding better opportunities for your younger kids entering the school. Also, if your kids are not taking honors classes or AP classes, your child may end up with some really AWFUL teachers. I will say that most teachers have been great. However, some are so bad that they should not be teaching kids, and they can jeopardize your child's chance of getting into some really good colleges because they will fail and have to re-take courses, or they won't learn anything. And, the worst part is that the school will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help you make changes or adjust your child's schedule or teacher to help them succeed. Students who at risk of failing just have to sit through the whole school year, take the torture and learn nothing from these teachers that don't really care. Some teachers have belittled other students in class, unless they have some affiliation with GHS employees. Then, those kids have clear nepotism in the classroom. This is the case with one specific math teacher who is also a coach. He belittles kids in class if they don't understand. There is also another terrible math teacher who is a coach. He is much nicer, but he is basically absent for tutorials and does the bare minimum. And, one of the government/history teachers basically teaches NOTHING, and makes the kids do meaningless busy work while he sits and does nothing in class. One of my kids had constant stomach aches every day going to his class. These are some of the bad things going on at the high school. Had I known more going in, I would have sent my kids to Bonita Unified or the California Arts School. Unfortunately, one of my kids already graduated and one is about to graduate. So, we missed that boat. Hopefully this review can help you to make a better choice for your kid. read more

For a school with great athletic teams & very expensive nearby housing, how is it that this school still has a dirt track? That's embarrassing. Get an all-weather Track & a grass or turf football & soccer field please. Also, make it public to the community to run on. Even Azusa High School has an all-weather track now. Put more pressure on that Prop or Measure that makes it happen. And make sure it has all the proper measurements & requirements, so that CIF allows it to have sanctioned athletic events. Preferably 9 lanes, long jump, triple jump, & pole vault runways with proper sized shot put & discus rings and high jump area. read more

Very mediocre school. First off it's ugly. Needs work. Its nothing special. Looks run down and old. Classrooms are tiny and run down. No lunch areas. No PE equipment. Old rusty lockers that don't work. Lacks interesting electives and programs. Some staff have been amazing. Some teachers need to go. Priorities are obviously sports and band. Amazing how people think the Highschool in our town is "good". I've sent a few of my kids here. Not impressed. Academics are decent. Counselors are a hit and miss. read more

I guess I should take it way back and thank my roots... My time at Glendora was a little painful as I was the perrenial "nerd". I graduated a year early and I was a year younger than everyone... I was also a late bloomer... I started high school the same year that Beverly Hills 90210 came out so I nicknamed my high school "Mini 90210" because there were so many similarities... Kids with nice cars, nose jobs, etc... I can't blame the high school I have to blame myself for not knowing any better... I always think if I knew then what I know now... I never went to my reunion... I was like do I really want to see those people again... Maybe one day :) P.S.-- I forgot to add that I am still friends with a very special person I met my senior year... Miss Jill :) Woo Woo read more

When I went to Glendora High I was very disappointed in how they handled my disability, Epilepsy. They basically seemed that they were more concerned with their fear of any liability than they were that I still had my right to an education. They sent me home constantly despite me saying I wanted to stay at school. They never had a 504 meeting for me to make appropriate accommodations and never informed my parents of our right to have one. The did not have a school nurse on campus and they knew close to nothing about Epilepsy. Additionally, I agree with previous reviews that they are not diverse enough and seem to try to keep minorities and kids from other districts out. read more

*Racist School. The only part of the staff that like you are the campus aides. If you are wealthy or white/Caucasian then you are received with open arms. The counselor was never around and there wasn't much student support. You're practically on your own. read more

School teacher are play cop! Glendora High School teacher have no authority to tell parent where to park on the street. Outside the school have area assign for school bus park only, and only have limit yellow line space for parent to park at the street, then it had this yellow school bus parked at the yellow line area, and force me temp park at the red line, I got approve from this school teacher wearing the red Glendora shirt and told me not allow to park at the red line area, if I am not move she will call the police and took the picture of my car. Why can't the yellow bus park at the school zone? It will allow rest of parent to be having more room to be park at the yellow line to pick up the kid. If any of the Glendora teacher want to be cop, please wear a cop uniform and tell me what to do and no need to work as a teacher. read more

I called today asking in regards to which classes are offered for incoming freshmen. She told me that I was calling 1 month too early because they didn't have that info yet!!!! I've Never heard of such a thing. Not sure if she (counselor) was new or if she just didn't want to give me the info but it's hard to believe they wouldn't have such information already. read more

*non-racist school I have absolutely no idea what Lia G. is talking about. The review is very subjective and false. There is no evidence to back up her claims, therefore they are useless. "If you are wealthy or white/Caucasian then you are received with open arms." I agree in terms of wealth affecting positions in sports, they are very unfair about that. Personal experience dictates that I couldn't be the position I wanted on the Baseball team because the coach got tipped off. However, there is no form of racism at all at this school. That is a complete and utter lie. I'm half-white and I look like it too, but I can guarantee that I wasn't welcomed with open arms more than the Hispanic kid or the African-American kid was. If anything, they get more attention. Counselors are always ready to help you, all you need to do is walk into their room. That's it. I'm guessing Lia G. didn't know where the counselors were. There is tons of student support and it may even be a little excessive for me. But, the school attempts to help you to the best of their abilities, from teachers to staff. It's overall a really good school and sadly has to deal with racist and misinformed people like Lia G. read more

I like carrots but instead of being a carrot, I'm a single Pringle. The snack shop sells Pringles. Therefore this is a great school.

I currently attended school there. I had a great experience. Not many teachers have an impact on me. But during my senior year I had one teacher that made a huge difference in my life and for this I am very thankful. Glendora High School is great. read more

If I can give no stars I would, but I had to put a star in order to write a review. The staff is ridiculously rude. They aren't friendly and the think they are all that. I just moved into the city and was looking into high schools for my kids. This school is definitely not a school I want them to go too. It's TRASH!!!!!!! read more

I graduated from here 8 years ago. I had a lot of fun, but I probably would have had the same experience at any other high school. a very safe school if that's important to anyone. read more

Good programs for students with any academic background. Incredible ASB and activities put on which benefit the entire community. Ok Administration, and generally great teachers. I have had experience with a few teachers who were not perfect, but 95% of the teacher I had at Glendora High School were engaging and efficient. read more

If you have another option for you kids pick that option. I went to this school, certain kids are catered to. If you are the all star jock you are treated like royalty if you are a loner you are brushed under the rug. My senior year one of the mentally handicapped kids that sat with my small group of friends was being harassed and bullied by a boy with tattoos. He wasn't more than 16. He kept shoving a camera in this kids face and my whole group was talking him to back off and go away. Mind you all the "disciplinary staff" were standing not even 50ft away where they could clearly hear us yelling at the guy and his group of jerks to back off. They DID NOTHING! Lazy! Same with school teams. I was part of the color guard. No matter how many times new freshman made another freshman cry or say out loud she would never compete because she is the worst on the team. The coach did nothing. I understand bullying will happen at any school and anywhere in life but at this school it was crazy how much it happened and nothing was done, BUT if you wear a beanie when it's freezing cold you can bet your bottom dollar they will dress code you. If your butt cheeks are hanging out of your shorts they don't care. But wear a beanie and you are in violation because you may be up to no good and might not be recognizable as a student but as someone who broke into the school......EVEN IF THE BEANIE HAS CAT EARS ON TOP! Many teachers also speak more about their home lives rather than teaching. There are 2 teachers in the math department who do this, one is the color guard coach. If you want your child to actually learn something, choose a different school. read more
