Glenwood High School is a great school in a friendly environment. The worst part of my experience is during the COVID-19 pandemic, where half of my high school experience was cut off. Being isolated for one year and a half was really hard for my education and just being social. The best experience is being back in school during my senior year. The school has a great education system and good athletics.

Glenwood High School is a good school academically and prepares students for college. The performing arts programs are amazing (great band, choir, and show choir program) and most sports programs are pretty good as well. The students are sometimes clique-y, mean, and et cetera, but that's pretty common among high schools.

The school is pretty good. The music program is better than most schools. But, if students ever struggle with schoolwork, most teachers let them drown without helping. The counselors are also very argumentative.
