Gladstone Elementary School

I have had 4 sons attend Gladstone Elementary School in San Dimas, and I have been extremely impressed by the quality education they have recieved. The instructional staff knows the state standards and makes sure makes sure the students are well prepared for each of the following grade levels. They approach each student as a human being deserving respect and compassion. There's no school like gladstone!

We have been part of the Gladstone family for the past years and we could not be happier with the teachers each of our children have had. Their overall school experience has been all that I ever wished for them.

A wonderful place where minds grow with the help and encouragement of an amazing group of teachers, parents, and local buisnesses.

Gladstone is a place where children learn and grow. The family atmosphere is warm and inviting. The principal and teachers are the best you'll find anywhere. We have been a part of the school for six years and couldn't be happier with our experiences or the academic results.

My grandson goes there. They do a lot of neat things with the kids. The campus is always well maintained.

I have a first grader and a third grader at Gladstone, and I love the school. The principal is very approachable as are the teachers. The school has a very involved parent base as well. Between the school and the PTA, every single classroom has Smart Board technology. It is amazing to see children in my son's first grade class using the SmartBoard with ease. Every class has a sound system as well. My kids will surpass me in the use of technology. I also need to comment on the reading programs offered. My son was struggling with his reading. He started with an additional program, which he does with an aide two days a week. He is now not only excited about his reading, but he is also less inhibited inhis writing. His growth, both acedemically and emotionally, has been great.

I love Gladstone. I have two children, one of whom has moved on to middle school. Gladstone provides such a quality education that my daughter has felt she has been more prepared than classmates who attended other schools. My children have both received strong emotional support from their teachers as well. Great leadership, devoted teachers, involved community . . . who could ask for more?

I feel sometimes they are way too picky in having a kid change color for silly little reasons, like they don't let the kids be kids, not even at recess time, my son sometimes wakes up at night talking in his sleep about 'staying green', I feel they're sort of a military school not elementary sometimes to be honest

I am so thankful for the help that this school has given my daughter. Ever since we started at this school, everyone has worked very hard to get my daughter the help and intervention that she needed. She was basic when she started at the school, and I am happy to report that she has scored advanced on all 3 of her trimester 2 benchmarks. She was so excited!
