My child loves Glorietta, and so do we. The state test results show high academic performance, but what I love most is the focus on teaching kids how to be good humans. The principal has implemented programs and initiatives that really make good character a focus & something to really celebrate. The community is tight knit, and people step up to help each other out.

We could not be happier since we left the school. If your child is not an average child in any way, I do not recommend it.

Excellent local school experience. Great school community and parents group.

We had a terrible experience at Glorietta. This is by far the worst school our children have attended. Our son went from loving school and earning classroom awards when he started to dreading having to go to his classroom and almost failing the grade. His teacher frequently mocked students and was as close to a bully as you can get, yet the school would do nothing about it because she was active in the union.The school was poorly organized and lacked the resources that you would expect in a community like Orinda. Our kids complained of frequent absences by teachers and lack of substitutes, and also of falling behind in science because they did not have enough staff to cover all the lessons.The community is tight knit and filled with great families, but the school is far from what it is billed to be.
