It has a nurturing environment with a creative approach to teaching children of different academic levels that is both encouraging and focused on the child.

A small family atmosphere, Like a private school without the tuition. Small class sizes where all teachers know all students. Focusing on the whole child.

The 'small-town' country school atmosphere is wonderful! The faculty, administration, and the parents are all driven to help the students succeed!

In response to the posting about the 4/5 class there is no plan for this next year. I work at the school. The plan was for the k-3 classes. Multi-Age classes will always be a reality due to the small size of our school. It makes sense to build a strong multi-age program when the school has combos every year. The teachers researched what would be the best program for our students and our school. The new program has been successful in Pleasanton schools for over 30 years! Parents need to stop berating programs, classes, teachers, etc and lend a helping hand to make them as successful as possible. Our teachers are working hard and are collaborating to implement this amazing program. You can't judge until you observe the classes. Inside the classroom, the students are thriving and happy:)

I'm a mom of 3. One of my children graduated Sunol Glen two years ago and is a high school sophomore now. One is still at the school. I have a 3rd who is not yet school aged. We actually live in Pleasanton, which is one of the 'best' school systems in the Bay area. People move to our town just to attend the schools. However, my kids attend Sunol Glen. I'm very hard to please when it comes to my kids education and in the 7 years we have been a Sunol Glen family, I've always felt my kids were getting a great education in the best environment. The new Prinicipal is awesome, we are lucky to have her. Anyone who is unhappy with Sunol Glen, I will say this: No one is forcing you to keep your kids there, so you can always feel free to pull them out.

We love this school! I too, was part of the Mission school district's test oriented culture. After watching almost every aspect of creativity and fun taken from my children's education I began searching for a private school. One that supported the whole child with science and math as well as art and music in a supportive environment. Someone told me to check out SG. The first time I went to visit was the day of the Halloween parade. Imagine my surprise as all celebrations at my children's current school had been eliminated. I have only one very happy child there now, my older daughter graduated last year. Her amazing academic and social experience at Sunol Glen's middle school allowed her entrance to a top rated college prep school only taking 1 in 4 applicants. I attribute this to the great teachers, supportive staff and excellent leadership of Mrs. Barns!

Grades K through 3 are split classes (K/1 and 2/3). Next year they plan on a 4/5 class. Composite classes only work for one grade level in each group. I think this is a horrible mistake for Sunol Glen. I am glad my children are not affected by this change. I would have pulled them from the school.

This school is an amazing place for students to thrive and become well-rounded, respectful and amazing students. I am in classes on a daily basis and I can tell you all our teachers are unbelievable. The new multi-age program was the vision of our K-3 teachers with Mrs. Rad at the forefront. I think it is amazing that the prinicipal listened to the teachers and supported their plan for our students. My children have been at Sunol Glen for over 5 years and I can tell you that I won't want them anywhere else. This school still has Instructional Aides, Music, Art, Computers and prep time for our teachers. All these things have been cut from the neighboring schools. Please start looking at all Sunol Glen has to offer as well as observe in the actual classrooms. Parents should stop listening to the misinformation and gossip spread on the playground!


Posted August 28, 2009

This is only the first week of school!! Sorry to hear that the parent below is not giving the multi-age classes a chance! Clarification: The teachers wanted the multi-age program and the principal supported them. This school is amazing. I have been in some of the multi-age rooms this week and they are wonderful, The principal is fabulous and parents need to stop the gossip and slander. If you observe the classes, all students are thriving and learning.

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.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
