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 transferred to a new school in my junior year after moving and still felt out of place by the time I graduated. The students weren't very accepting towards me, and I didn't have any friends. I hated going to school every day.

At Glen Rock High School, the staff is extremely caring and the content learned definitely prepares you for the rigor of college. The school has increasingly put more emphasis on the sciences over the past few years to allow students to easily enter the growing field post- high school. Our building is decently clean and constantly getting renovated like our new library and security works so hard to ensure student and faculty safety.

Overall I had a decent experience. From freshman year to Sophmore year, things were calm. My junior year was terrible being one of the only minorities in the school. They way the administration handled racial and hate crimes against religion and race was wrong and not handled correctly. They want the students to feel comfortable. I did not feel comfy once from the environment.

I am a current student at GRHS. Unfortunately, I have had a horrible experience at this school, as my peers have repeatedly harassed me for being different from them. Additionally, the teachers here are rude and not in the least bit understanding and supportive. Also the lack of diversity at this sc...

Fantastic teachers and lots of happy students that go on to great schools afterwards. Glen Rock is a tight knit community that has the resources to do whatever it takes to take care of their schools and it shows.
