I like Gbn because of its diversity and academic. Most of the teachers I've had were pretty nice and supportive to their students. One thing about gbn is that there's not much of a community here because there are not many events and fun activities that the school plans. It looks like clubs and sports are together doing their own thing while others are not included. I do have a good relationship with one of the teachers because she helps me a lot in every way and she is very positive.

Overall our experience has been ok. There has been a lack of communication and/or poor communication. We have experienced some coaching that hasn't been very memorable in terms of making connections with players.

I think Glenbard North is a great school. I learn a lot at this school and feel that I am given many opportunities to improve myself and learn even more as there are a variety of resources. A lot of the teachers at this school are great but there are some who I don't really learn well from. I feel like there could be better teachers. Something I would like to see change are the food options. As a vegetarian, I feel like there aren't many option's. Overall I think Glenbard North is a great school.
