My experience at John Glenn high school has been great the moment I started my first day here. I came here as a freshman and have stayed the whole four years and I still love it. They are on top of the game and ready for anything. They show that they care greatly about all of their students and do not discriminate. The sports and programs are amazing and they communicate and appreciate all of the kids. I'm glad I went to John Glenn high school. It's definitely one of my best choices and I don't regret it. Everyone at this school is amazing especially the teachers. I think everyone should come here to experience what high school is supposed to be like and have an amazing time like I did.

I have had a great experience here at John Glenn. Some of the best parts about Glenn are my classmates, especially the ones I've been with for 4 years. Moreover, there are so many communities within the school that if you look gard enough you'll find one for almost anything, even if you are a transfer student from across town or across the globe. Some of the worst parts are the lack of attention to academics in some fields. There's not a whole lot you can do if you are in a class that you need to graduate but you already know the material within it, and I'd like to see more advanced classes and more AP classes offered at the school.

John Glenn has helped me grow into the person I am today. I am involved in football and baseball and all the coaches I have had over the years have been tremendous mentors and role models. Also, the staff is incredible, whenever I have an issue there are always teachers and other staff members who are extremely helpful and guiding. I would say the worst part about John Glenn is how strict some policies have become, but most are just in place to keep students safe and productive.

I like the layout of the building, I personally think it’s got a lot of work to do though as I feel like bullying isn’t enforced well and bullies get away with things all the time. I also feel like the school only takes one persons opinion and gives write ups to people without enough evidence to sup...

I have been in the school district since 6th grade, and I am so glad I switched. Most of the issues the school has is rooted in student behavior. If you have a child who behaves well, you’ll be fine. Learning:No one likes learning, but the teachers make it as enjoyable as possible. Most of my teache...

I literally begged my mother to transfer me to a different school because the kids were horrible and the teachers were worse. I had one amazing teacher there but the rest treated me as less than. It's something that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Don't let your children experience that.
