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 have enjoyed my past three years at Glynn Academy. There are many clubs to choose from, and it's easy to start your own. The open campus gives it a unique high school experience.

I attended Glynn Academy for all four years of high school, which is now coming to an end. This school has been a good one, with many ups and downs. They offer great programs to students, whether they're looking into college, trade school, or working after high school. They try their best to set them up for success after they graduate.

Over the four years I've been at Glynn Academy, I've had a good experience. First, all the staff are very nice and helpful. If you're ever struggling with homework or school work they will help you out. So many new clubs are introduced every year, so they're multiple oppurtunities to stay involved and make tons of friends. Football or sport in general are always fun to go to and to hang out with friends.

It has been a nightmare as a parent, and my children - who are honors students - are treated like criminals by the administration.

Facilities are sub-par. Over-achieving students are bullied for wanting to learn. No one cares about actually gaining knowledge. Many students are unruly. It is a school in an area where no one cares about bettering themselves or the community. I graduated from GA with a 4.1 and a 30 ACT, and becaus...

I am currently a sophomore (class of 2018) at GA who has also been to BHS.As a freshman at the other school, I have had a middle school-like experience there (in other words, it was beyond anything I would have imagined and it hurt me severly). I will post a review for BHS as well.I have a few frien...
