Dealing with the employees of GUSD has been a nightmare. They are entitled , rude and extremely…read moreunprofessional. I'm new to Glendale , this is the 1st time my child will be attending a GUSD school and the enrollment and application process has been disturbingly displeasing. Now I can go into detail regarding my experience , but it would be a long review as I've been dealing with them since December 2019. Don't even take my word for it , just place a call and see how you're treated. Employees are unbelievably misinformed . One person tells me one thing and another person tells me something else . They had all summer to prepare for Covid restrictions but until the last day we still had no idea what was going to happen for the students. My child went to a private preschool for 3 years. I didn't continue private school and moved to Glendale because I had heard their public school system was doing very well. But I'm honestly so disappointed , if it continues I'm just going to take my kid back to private.

Most of the funding only funds the robotics and cinema teams. Teachers do not teach and fail students on purpose and the administration has not done anything to fix the problem since they don't hear anyone out. We told the counselors about the issues they're having with teachers but they don't care at all and never do anything about it. I told my teachers before hand that I had a competition to go to and needed extra time to do the homework, I finished it and showed it to them and they said that apparently it's too late, it was impossible to finish all the homework they assigned, plus the extra homework they gave in one day so they gave me a zero. Kortoshian and Landisi ruined this school and they don't know how to run a school. They give you a ton of homework and tests which take away all your free time. No one deserves to go to this school.

I was originally intending for this to be a humorous review, but Andy O. has done a fine job…read moreoutlining the funnier points of the mess that is Anderson W. Clark Magnet High School. Clark touts recognition at the state and national levels for being a top school, and likes to promote its GUSD-leading API ranking, but let's be honest here, the bar is low. There are a few staff members and teachers who care about and do their jobs well, but on the whole, Clark is a case study on academic mismanagement and why many students in the American educational system succeed in spite of the schools they attend rather than because of them. As I sit here at 27 years of age writing this, I'm fairly happy with where I am in my life. I graduated from a top university and work at a job I love, which just happens to be with one of the most successful companies in history. I'm not trying to come off sounding like a tool here, but I want to make it clear that my success in these two areas commonly associated with a quality high school education came as a result of my own hard work, talent, and determination rather than anything Clark can take credit for. Thank you, Clark, for the 'innovative' curriculum that ended up being completely misaligned with the first-year prerequisites at nearly every U.S. university, the lack of any *quality* extracurricular activities, and your Draconian code-of-conduct which sought to stifle any sort of self-expression and created a culture hell-bent on breeding America's next group of mindless followers rather than its future innovators, thinkers, and leaders. On a more personal note, thanks for the 4 or 5 (?) suspensions as well. Like Andy Oh, I guess I too am a gangster. This review is getting too long and angsty already, so I think I'll end here. I will leave you with one last funnier memory, though. During one of its first years in operation, Clark was extremely excited to field a team for the district-wide academic bowl. Expectations were set high since, you know, Clark was full of nothing but the brightest students being coached by the best staff. End result? Last place finish.

Greg gave us a very thorough tour of the facilities and was very professional in answering all our questions. Nice venue. Adequate parking. Some ADA spaces. Large lobby area.

They are located in another building.

Hello everyone. At the moment I can leave my feedback. First of all, 1. Sanitary services that do…read morenot check the school for cleanliness. 2. It's time to change the announcers so that they do not spoil the children's psyche. 3. Police officers are often not on duty during the school process. 4. The food for children is incorrectly composed, many children feel bad after lunch. 5. There is no medical care for students during school hours. 6. Why do they accept different people from different countries to the school if there is no language teacher who will give a good lesson to the student. 7. The school district needs to be closed and a new one opened that will meet the standards for schools and children. 8. There is no control over the clothing and appearance of children. 9. A large number of children in the school is unacceptable. 10. The equipment for children is old. 11. Teachers get tired of working with so many students, they cannot convey excellent information to the students so that they are interested and want to go to school. 11. Whoever came up with the reviews and doesn't read them and draw conclusions, why are we writing here then? I demand that the president's attention be drawn to my review, so that the city mayor pays attention and resolves these issues. Thank you.

My daughter learned how to read in Kindergarten and is now learning to compose full sentences with confidence and creativity. It's wonderful to see her enthusiasm for learning grow! Glendale Adventist Academy has created such a positive and nurturing environment, and I couldn't be happier with the foundation my child is receiving here.

GAA has been one of the most disappointing experiences we've ever had to deal with. At a Christian…read moreschool, you would expect kindness, compassion, and genuine community to be at the center of everything. But instead, my sister has faced bullying, exclusion, and cruelty from students who are supposed to represent love and faith. My family chose this school because Christianity is a core part of our lives, and we believed she would be surrounded by peers who shared those values. Instead, she was met with the exact opposite; mockery, unkindness, and behavior that is the furthest thing from what God teaches. This isn't about one student. This is a cultural problem, a failure in guidance and leadership. If a school claims to prioritize faith, then it should actively teach empathy, humility, and compassion and not allow hurtful behavior to go unchecked. Do better. Hold your students accountable. Teach them to live the values you preach, not just speak them. No child deserves to feel alone or targeted in a place that claims to be built on God's love.

When I began my teaching career in 2002, I was hired as a substitute in the La Canada district. My first job was at LC Elementary, and it went well. I had no experience as a teacher. I was 48 years old. I had the B.S. degree, the CBEST, the Livescan, and the TB test, so I was ready to go! Most of my subbing was at Palm Crest. It's been so many years ago, but I have great memories. Wendy Sinnette was the Principal, as I recall. Some lovely and supportive teachers. Kelly Oh, 4th grade (I think). Lovely experiences here. Taught at Paradise Canyon many times, but I don't remember names. The kids were wonderful. I taught at La Canada HS and Middle School, too. Kathy Cockerill, 8th Grade English. I had her class for a few months. Can you imagine 8th graders who were supportive to a new teacher? They were. I spent several years in a charter school later on. That's a post for another time. In 2013, I had had enough and left the profession. Thanks to the La Canada School District for a superb life experience. I will always remember my time in your district. -Pete M.
