My experience with this school has been an amazing experience. My child's last year and it has been awesome. The teacher's at shepherd Glen are really amazing, compassionate people who really care about their students and the progression they make! I'm hoping her experience in the middle school will be the same experience!

The community is great, the children and environment is good. My concern is the staff and how rude and horrible they are. My child has special needs and they did everything to have them transferred to another school. When we emphasized that we wanted to keep him in there they put up a hard struggle. They’re education standards are extremely low as well. The previous principal Dr.DiBaco had more interest in his staff than students. The staff were rude at ppt meetings and not accommodating at all. I do not recommend at all.

This school is a really great school I have 3 children who attend. I am very pleased with there teachers. I had one child who was behind in reading and the they worked with my child and, now she is exactly where she needs to be. We also had an issue with bullying and it was taking care of immediately the principal did not hesitate on this with that said its a great school.

The way Shepard Glen is operated is horrific, the administrative straff and the Principal should all be terminated in replaced with folks with common sense.The secretaries are rude and incompetent just as the other parent had mentioned. The parking is atrocious, cars flying down the street and the crossing guard just stands at the driveway making sure parents do not enter to pick up their children.Parents have to find an available spot to park which many are not available or safe. Instead of the Principal who is more interested in his staff then the parents of the children who attend the school, should hire people with manners, friendly, and with safty knowledge. I like many others parent are concerned with our children's education, safety, and their well-being. The staff at Shepard Glen, mainly the Principal should come up with a better solution with parents picking up their children and not just the concern his incompetent staff.

I have two kids that started attending this year and it's been nothing but a headache. The administration is incompetent and rude. The teachers don't seem to have genuine concern for the students. My kids have been denied meals more than once due to the incompetency of the administration and/or non communication with the students. I've also noticed that my children is doing the work that they were doing in a prior grade at a different school which is making me completely nervous about they're education at Shepherd Glen that I'm ready to pull them out and home-school them myself.
