Glencoe Charter like any other school has its pros and cons. The school is considerably small but it does have its perks. I like that my school is smaller because that means we get more one on one learning. I believe Glencoe has potential and that with a little more effort it can be pushed to its full potential in a shorter amount of time. The academics are amazing and the sports aspect is growing and beginning to have more opportunities.
