Despite the last principal's 'effort', I find she was more available to parents. I have made efforts to contact Mr. Molina regarding serious issues and have had responses from everyone else other than him. Seeing him stand outside in the morning, drinking coffee and waving to parents and kids strongly resembles the people who stand on corners waving signs. All fluff, no substance. I have been on campus more this year than in the past and other than the morning waving, I only see one administrator, Mr. Rousseu. When waiting to pick up my child after school, 7th period, I have witnessed cheerleaders making fun of students of other cultures, kids screaming obscenities and unreal behavior from a school which touts this 'CAR program'. This school is sitting back behind a facade, pretending to be something it is clearly not. I am ashamed to have recommended this school to other parents.
Willow Glen Middle School has provided excelent and creative opportunities for my child to grow and learn; and the teachers seem to really care about the kids.
Willow Glen has a handful of teachers that are really excellent, but too many teachers teach at an excruciatingly slow pace. If your an overachiever or or excell in academics, I warn you that the only advanced classes this school are those in math. However, willow glen is an overall good school. There are a multitude of different, engaging electives and a good sports program. There is a small problem with swearing and bad behavior among the student body, but there are almost no violence issues. I can't understand why any student would not feel 'safe' at this school.
This is a great school. Recent changes in district policy have made this a 'neighborhood school' that now draws on highly-ranked elementary schools Booksin and Schallenberger. Watch for rapid growth in test scores. Lots of parent involvement and committed teachers. I am very happy with this school, have sent my daughter and will send my son.
