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.

This is an institution concerned with a sense of community not education. There are teachers in the building that so not teach and others in the building who try to teach, but admit that they do not know the material. There have been complaints about the teachers and the facilities not being up to the proper standards, but nobody in the administration makes a change.

Growing up in small own is very rewarding. Having a small school like Gleason provides students with a great sense of closeness with their classmates

Gleason School is a very small school in a very small town, however it gives you a community feel. Everyone will get to know you. The food is not always the best, the academics are great depending on the class. I believe this school will prepare any child who is willing and driven for college.

I have looked at the reviews and one particular was outrageous. In no way has a student been made to stand in front of class and be ridiculed by his classmates by his teacher's commands. The post was defamation. It is quite untrue. Now on education, yes Gleason school does not have everything. But p...

This school is like a closed society. My children transferred there and have yet to fully assimilate after several years because of the attitude toward them.
