Almost everything about this school is fantastic. Being a human though, there are a couple nit picky things, but not worth mentioning. Starting at the top, mrs. Williams (principal) is very welcoming. Not to say she's a pushover, she's what she needs to be when necessary. All the children seem very at ease with her, which you want at this age. She makes it easier to approach her if they are having issues. All of the first grade teachers are wonderful and hope they plan on staying forever. I haven't heard too many negative things about any of the teachers really! Campus is clean, and well maintained. It is a closed campus, becoming even more secure daily. We trust this staff with our children's lives and they are doing their share to make us feel secure. If you see something, report it and they are on top of it! I'd give this school a 9.9 out of 10.

Grovecenter is awesome!! We moved our 2 daughters from Azusa Unified to Covina Unified and when I was looking for a school for them I saw that this school had great test scores, with our oldest daughter already making honor roll we decided this was the school we wanted for our kids. The principal and staff plus the PTA welcomed us with very warm hearts and we couldnt have asked for better treatment. Our 5th grade daughter had no problem adjusting to the new school and friends. Our 1st grade daughter loved her new teacher and I am very proud of our decision. The test scores are still rising and there is a reason for that-the teachers are taking the time to teach the kids in a way that they can understand it and that is a great feeling to know that our daughters are a part of that. We are now bringing our son into this wonderful school for kinder and we are looking forward to some more great times with Grovecenter!!! TY Grovecenter!!!!

My son went here for first grade last year and is continuing to attend. My daughter will be attending Kinder this year. I love that all staff remembers the students and takes the time to get to know all of then. This is overall an excellent school with great scores, great activities and interactions with students.
