GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've been going to John Glenn since I was a Freshman and in my opinion it's a great school. While my grades have never been the best the teachers there have always tried their best to help me. One of the only problems I've had at John Glenn is with some of the policies they have there, the policies are simply ones I just don't agree with but they're reasonable to have so I can't be too mad.

I would really like there to be more serious staff and to handle issues in the school better. I also wish we had better homecoming.

If I could start my high school experience over again and start new, changing everything I ever did, I would. I would have been more involved in school, tried to make more friends, and took my academics more seriously. I would have changed the people I met freshman year. If I did, maybe I would be more involved in school, I wouldn't be scared of making friends and I wouldn't spend the last two years of my time in high school hating every moment and wishing I could leave already. I think John Glenn offers a lot, for specific people that is. I don't believe there is any diversity left at this school. Everyone has to be the same to fit in, and if you can't or don't fit in that category, you won't fit in at all. I personally never fit into these groups of kids. I struggled a lot in high school and will graduate thanking God it's finally over. John Glenn may offer a lot, but I would never go there alone. If I did high school all over again, I'd hide myself so I could enjoy it.

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.
