Summary:
The Glendora Unified school district consists of nine public schools serving approximately 6,400 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, ranking in the top quarter of districts statewide for academic performance.
Overall, the district performs well above state averages, with particularly strong graduation rates and low dropout rates. Glendora High and Goddard Middle are standout performers, consistently achieving high rankings, while Sellers Elementary is notable for having the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district. Parents should be aware of a significant performance gap between the two middle schools, with Goddard Middle outperforming Sandburg Middle in math proficiency by a considerable margin.
While most schools are stable and high-performing, Whitcomb Continuation High faces significant challenges with very low test scores and high absenteeism, despite receiving the most funding per student. Among elementary schools, Stanton Elementary has the lowest ranking, while La Fetra Elementary leads in science proficiency. The district's strengths are clear, but these internal disparities highlight areas for potential improvement.
