I don't really think the teachers try hard to make classes fun or entertaining, and the ones that do add more work in the progress, I also hear lots of racist slurs and swears. There are a lot of people who just don't get in trouble or get too many chances.

I was bullied when I attended. 4 years ago and nothing was done about it. Now my brother is experiencing the same thing but this time he stood up to for him self and friends. Now he's getting in trouble and being called a lier by the assistant principal because they only got the bullies sob story. This school is a joke. Bully free more like free to bully. The assistant principal tends to dissfavor other ethnicities. No matter how many reports you submit about a problem nothing will change or get done. The assistant principal I'm talking about is Kerry Sperber. She takes every problem and makes it into a joke of brushes it off like she's to worthy yo handle it. She must be removed. Nothing is changing here. They taught us if you have a problem tell an adult. And when that adult calls you a lier and brushes it off what's next to do about It? Every one will take her word over yours because of your age. If we can rate staff indevidualy I guaranty she will have less than 2 stars. But of cores her word is above the students. What a rollmodle

My child went to PDCMS 6th then Glen 7th and back to PDCMS 8th.
Their 7th grade was terrible
Bad teacher
Bad influences.
Keep in mind my child takes compacted math writes at a 10th grade level and has and IQ of over 150 so I strongly advise you to get a transfer.

John Glen is the BEST school we have ever attended in the Desert. We have been to Palm Valley, Marywood, Desert Christian, and JG has the best teachers, the music, arts, and theater programs are fantastic! We are very happy at John Glen.
