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.

Glenwood High School is an amazing school with devoted and caring staff. It has been an honor to attend a school with the quality of Glenwood High School. The teachers all care about their job and the staff members work incredibly hard to maintain the schools high standards. I've always felt welcome and encouraged to commit to my passions. The school has done a great job over the years in recognizing the music department, as I'm in show choir. It has been a delightful experience up to this point.

I have had a great experience at Glenwood High School and have been challenged both by the academic rigor in my classes and on the soccer field.
