We went here for a few years and this is the last.The 5th grade teacher this year has been hard for us to deal with and now she is judgy during the online classes like before.

Keeping in mind that inequities exist public education; Glen Park has some dedicated teachers/staff. I am happy that one of the 5th grade teachers left and they have brought on new experienced staff.. After school program is great for the $$ we pay; altough some priviledged families may feel otherwise.It's diverse, lots of enrichment, and lots of heart if you participate in the PTO.

Never having to deal with on of the 5th Grade teachers again is something I'm very happy about.

Glen Park is a lovely and very diverse school. Several things make it stand out. We LOVE the 8:40 start time. It would be hard to get our son to school at 7:50. Every morning we clap in, hear announcements and kids give performances. Fri is dance day - fun way to begin the day! The school just hired an awesome dance teacher to work with the kids. The children love the PE teacher, Mr. Bloom! We have education outside so sci/enviro studies are taught in the garden and the chicken coop with the flock of hens. The librarian is so sweet and the library is colorful and well stocked. The kids visit every week. They also visit the local sfpl once a week in afterschool as well as go to the canyon. The afterschool program is run by a very dedicated woman. They have great programs such as chess club, tae kwon do, soccer, cooking, crafts and spa club. The teachers are very communicative, the standard homework is given but a bit “optional.” The teachers use readers/writers workshop and not only did my son start reading in K but he also wrote and illustrated a book on cheetahs. The kids have publishing parties where other classes come to hear them read their work. My son is also leraning a LOT of math (adding/substracting in K). He comes home very politically aware and we discuss social injustice and political topics he learns about at school. The teachers use a pax program with positive discipline; the kids get “tootles” for positive behavior. The school is inclusive so kids with learning differences are in the classroom which I think is wonderful for all. My son is a very active boy and I was worried how he would do in a more formal setting after preschool, but the staff are supportive of encouraging all kids and he is thriving. We needed a pyschoeducational eval for dyslexia in our child and the literacy specialist abd pyscholigist were communicative, kind, and so helpful during this process. There is a MSW on site and optional meditation in the AM. Each grade has 3 classes, 1 is a Spanish bi-literacy program. One of the huge bonuses is our school is very diverse and all the kids have fun playing together and learning about others’ cultures. The PTO is super mellow and the parents are all fun and down to earth. Most live in glen park. It’s becoming more and more popular and definitely worth checking out!
