Worst School ever..no extra curricular activities, arts and performances, field trips, fundraisers, or tutoring resources for english speking students. the principal caters to his own kind and let them get away with more than the other children. He suspends children of other ethnic background for the same thing that's the hispanic group do not get suspended for. I do not recommend this school for anyone. They may as well close it down. Were new to the school district and its a very bad experience. We definitely will not be returning

I love Glassbrook. All of my kids have gone to this school. They are all doing great in school, and ALWAYS above average scores. They've all had Ms. Isomura and Mr. Faure, who are EXCELLENT teachers. Because of my address, they should be going to a school with better ratings, but I love the teachers and other staff at Glassbrook and trying hard to keep my kids there. Very personable people.

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.
