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.

GRHS is a lot of ups and downs. The town is so nice but just not diverse. Being a POC at school unfortunately racism is super normal and kind of brushed off as a joke. Teachers are gems and college placements are usually impressive. It's an old school though, and it doesn't have the facilities to support so many kids.

I feel that my time at Glen Ridge High School has prepared me for college and introduced me to numerous resources and opportunities that wouldn't have been available elsewhere. The school and class size was small which helped me feel like my needs were being met and the faculty was truly being attentive. The only downside of GRHS has been the lack of diversity.

The best thing about this district is peer pressure by and support from other students to do well. I’ve had three children graduate from this school. One had ADD that was diagnosed by a board certified medical specialist. The school refused to provide a 504 designation which would have allowed for a...
