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.

Glencoe is small but very welcoming and safe. The teachers, staff, and faculty are great and offer one on one assistance. Lacks an art program or any music programs other than band. Academics are great, teachers make it easy to understand the subject at hand.

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.
