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 enjoyed my experience at Glencoe High School. However I would like to see the teachers work more hands-on with the students in trying to prepare them for college.

The A.P. classes and teachers really prepared me for the A.P. exams. I made some great memories by being apart of our athletic teams. The students aren't just friends at Glencoe High School, they're more like a family. Although the administration at GHS is not very helpful. The counselor reminds seniors of college application deadlines but never really helps with making scholarship opportunities known. It is also a struggle to get her to send transcripts to our desired colleges.

I really enjoyed my time at Glencoe High School. The teachers and academics are good. The school is not very diverse. We have plenty of clubs such as Key Club, Junior Civitans, and theatre. We aren't the most athletic school but we always support all sports. The school teaches the material but doesn't prepare you great for college. That's the only thing I would want to see changed.

I am a recent graduate (May 2014) of this school and was...

As a student at Glencoe High, I can say that it has been the worst educational experience of my life, if you can even call it educational. Bullying and rumors run rampant throughout the school, and if you aren't a teacher's pet, there's no one to help you. There is no sense of confidentiality betwee...

As a student it is a terrible experience if your not one of the principals favorites. If your not an athlete you don't get respected. Most of the teachers are great but a hand full of them pick the ones they like and are rude and snobby to the others. You can't be you at this school.
