The school does not care about you. Sometimes male teachers will ban women from talking in class and female teachers have told men that they don't deserve A's in class and are pigs. Overall the school is racist and sexist and provides very little support while also creating an unsafe mental environment while "preparing" students for college. There are also teachers who teach seniors that tell them that they will "kick a student while they are down" because they can and want to.

I have loved my experience at Glendale Preparatory Academy. This school taught me how to form opinions in seminars, build connections with peers, and speak my mind without fear. I trust that this school has adequately prepared me for my future beyond the academy.

Glendale prep is a rigorous, high level middle and high school. While this school is not suitable for students of all comprehension levels, it gives great debate and logic skills.

This school GP and Archway has a toxic environment. I would avoid this school. Teachers are not certified. Many 8th graders will not be staying for High School. They put on a fake front.

Teachers truly care about their students. The students are respectful and talented. Some families could be more engaged but the overall climate at the school is productive.
