The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The science teachers were very unqualified and did not know how to do their job nor teach it. Administration constantly was changing, so it was frustrating to have 3 principals in 4 years. . Very little diversity and the school favored white Christian conservatives. Very little opportunity for student feedback about diversity and for us to voice our concerns or protest things

I personally enjoyed my time there, and even though I believe there was an overall lack of clubs, I think this is something that can be easily improved. Additionally, I believe the food served there could be improved.

I graduated a few years ago but Glendora High is a great school. Everything is learned both inside and outside the classroom with educated teachers and staff members who put student learning first. I was a part of the volleyball team for a couple years and am grateful to have been involved. All the school events ran smooth and were super fun. The school campus is very clean which makes for an enjoyable experience as well.

The elementary schools are amazing, the middle schools are OK. However, the high school is horrible considering what you would expect in a great community like Glendora. Most teachers have been amazing, with the exception of a few. But, that is probably true at any school. However, the communication...

All Glendora schools are amazing! Not just academically but socially. It's small and safe community and the staff and teachers really care about the students. I have a son in the high school and two children at Goddard Middle School. Most of the staff have worked there many years and many have come...

I'm giving this school a 2 based on nearby schools, such as Claremont High, Bonita High, and San Dimas. I think this school is lacking compared to the other schools when it comes to preparing students to be competitive for college admissions. They do not offer as many honors level courses that are a...
