The last administration from what I have heard were a very caring group of people. Unfortunately you do not see this now. Before my children attended this school, I heard the horrior stories about Glenbrook from people who live in the attendance area but will not send there children but I did not listen and I gave the school a chance. I thought if I was involved and worked with the school we could work together. What a mistake. I have wasted so much valuable time and effort with this school. It is really sad when you have people leading this school. They are belittling students, the sarcasim and snide remarks that are made to the students. I will say that there are a few good teachers there, but it is not enough, they need to change out the whole administration. Sad but true.
I have been at Glenbrook for 8 years as a parent and have mixed feelings. The staff and administration do everything they can to make the school a thriving environment, but the lack of parent involvement from the Hispanic community is alarming. The school has a high transient population and there is no stability for these children. The work expected from students is not at grade level due to students coming into the school without the necessary skills, and the staff must review with these students at the detriment of the rest. The administration truly cares about providing the students with the best possible education, but without the students having a strong foundation coming in, they can only play catch-up. Contrary to the rumors spread by misinformed parents, this school is NOT drug, weapon, or gang infested.
As a father of a 6th grader who was very concerned about sending his daughter to junior high, I want to state how relieved I am. I have nothing but praise for the entire staff and of the very hard work and long hours they put in. Their concern goes well past the requirements. I also am very pleased with the safety and security. There have been false reports of fights on campus, these satements are untrue. I am there every day and am very grateful to Dr. McAdam and his staff, he has done a wonderful job, especially in these finacially troubled times. A big thank you to the entire staff.
