Overall I enjoyed my time at John Glenn mainly because of the great peers surrounding me. I would like to see better involvement in developing the students who are already succeeding instead of only those struggling. I also feel like more help on reaching out for scholarships would be nice. I believe the math program is the best and the science is the worst as there are a couple incompetent science teachers but very well versed math teachers.

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.

The best parts about John Glenn High School are the students and teachers who make going to school every day worthwhile. I have had almost no bad experiences there and the ones I have experienced are minor. One thing I would like to see change at this school is to offer more classes that allow students to explore careers and open up career center for all grades.

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.
