New administrator at this school is trying too hard to put a show on "Look what I am doing for the kids!". But not really for the kids... There are several good teachers on that site. But I witness some "not getting along" moments amongst the teachers as well as the office staff talking inappropriate topics amongst themselves while parents are standing and waiting for assistance. There are also bullies in the school. The school does assemblies on the topic but I see no progress. Some kids there are flat out mean and vicious.

I find the administration to be very helpful and friendly, which is usually my complaint with previous schools my child has attended. Some of the teachers are very good. Others can't think out of the box at all. The biggest issue for me is the environment. Too many kids at very young ages swearing and using terrible language. You can overhear some of the parents using this language as well (which is surely where they get it). Of course it is not allowed, but there are not enough people supervising to monitor it. I will be removing my child from this school right away as the behavior gets worse the older my child gets. Car pick up is also rediculous. There is no order to it whatsoever.

Alot of bullies at this school. The office staff loves to gossip. Great 3rd grade teachers but they need to monitor and repremand the bullies in this school.

Stanton School of Glendora has a pool of very knowledgeable and caring teachers. I rememer having attended a Day for Grandparents about 3-4 years ago and found that the quality of education and development of students attitudes/personality are adequately attended to by the teachers. They encourage mediocre students to excel and in many instances, these students became Student of the Month. Also, the GATE Program of the school is commendable. Keep up the good work!


Posted May 5, 2004

I don't have a child at this school, but I was a student there many years ago. I am just glad to see that the school is still around and doing well. That is all I wanted to say. Thank you for your time.

I feel like my children are receiving a private school education, without the tuition! The office staff is always willing to help, and the Principal is very accessible. The teachers are very kind, knowledgeable and strive for higher learning from their students. The GATE program is excellent, and very beneficial. The PTA is the friendliest I've met. No cliques here!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
