I really enjoyed being at Glencoe High School, it was a good 4 years and I'll never forget it. The only thing I would like to see a change in is the dress code, not to be so strict about something things :)

The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming. I love how the teachers would do anything possible to help you succeed. I feel like it could be even better if there were more clubs and activities for all different types of students to get involved in.

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.
