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 had great teachers - this is because I have only taken APs and honors classes taught by passionate teachers. I love all the people here - but our superintendent is not great - cutting many clubs and even Trial and Debate due to budget issues. This despite us just having received a multi-million dollar bond.

Glen Cove High School is like many other schools -- you get out of it what you put into it. One of the beautiful aspects of this school, its diversity, is also often times used as a negative by some people. Well, the real world is diverse with different people of different races and different religi...
