Love the school, the teachers and the neighborhood. This small school is more like a family and always looks out for the best interest of my kids.

I love Glendora Elementary because it's just a great school plain and simple. The principal, the teachers, the staff and of course the children all work together and make a tremendous learning experience for everyone involved. I've been very happy all the years my children have been attending.

My family moved here 3 years ago from philly,were my children attended catholic school. I was a little nervous about sending them to a public school. But i couldn't be more impressed with this school. Excellent teachers and faculty. My son went here for 1 year, my daughter has been in this school for 3 years. I have two other little ones that will definetely be attending when they are ready for school.

My son has been going to Glendora Elementary since 2nd grade and now he is in 4th grade. I absolutely love this school. Every teacher he has had has been exceptional. Its more challenging today then years past because the curriculum is much more advanced. Its teamwork between the teachers,students and parents. I would recommend this school to anyone.

From a parent and former student: this is a great little school! Always has been and I imagine it always will be. Where else does all the staff know every student and family by name. It is hard enough for children to go from home or day care to a school of aprx. 200 children(which is about the pop of glendora school) let alone a school of 500 or more.My whole family went and is going to this school( me, 2 sisters,1 brother,2 nephews, and now my 2 girls). If you get the chance to live here and send your children to this school you should, you won't regret it.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New Jersey used the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in language arts literacy and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The NJ ASK is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New Jersey. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
