On a scale of 1-10 I would rate my experience as a 0. I would recommend this school to no one and I feel very sorry for the children who do go there because they are in no way receiving the education and guidance they should be recieving.

Teachers give out homework my child does not understand and instead of helping, they mark the assignments wrong and blame the children saying they are lazy

They do not shape the children to be the best citizens they can be. My daughter was bullied and targeted for a year and nothing was done about it and the other child’s parents were never even contacted.

The faculty does not take any initiative to communicate or follow up with parents. I have brought several issues to teachers, front office women, vice principal and principal and the issues were never solved and I was never contacted again by any of the faculty. When I did try to reach out they would hang up on me or say they would have someone call me but no one ever did.

Bullying runs rampant through the school and no matter how many times my family has to go up there to the school to address it, the teachers and faculty do not take responsibility or any measure to stop it or prevent it.

Glenwood School offers intervention programs to help students improve on their reading, and successful in learning throughout the year. The teachers have been great teaching my daughters and helping them in any way possible. Everytime there is an school activiy the Mr. Gasier and Mr. Mesa are always present and great on interacting with the students.
