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.

I don't understand why the teacher & secertary are so rude to parents? Maybe they have been teaching too long and are just waiting to retire.

At least the PTA is nice and most parents are nice as well.

St. Lucy's integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Though it is a small High School, it allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, giving the girls more confidence when asking questions, engage in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within your daughter- their good behaviors and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner.

However... PARENTS BEWARE!! If your child is a victim of bullying and harassment on this campus, this school will lack follow through when it comes to implementing serious consequences to abusers. Be prepared to take your own legal action in order to protect your child. Bullies are given a slap on the hand and the victims are offered mental health support services. To add more insult to injury, if your child shares a class with their well known abuser, they will not switch the bully to a different classroom instead, they will expect the victim to change classes. Parents beware.

After 2 months I made the decision to pull my kids out. My son was hit with a hydro flask intentionally in the eye. There was kids that witnessed the incident. We were told by both principal and vice principal that everyone involved and the witnesses would be spoken to. They didn't speak to any of the witnesses! There wasn't any consequences for that student (it's all about who you know at the school and you get away with bad behavior). Academics are mediocre. Principal will tell You what you want to hear to enroll you and take your money. Beware your child's safety is NOT there concern (if your family works at the school that's when your child is safe even if you're the one doing the harm).
