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.

My experience at Glencoe-Silver Lake High School was very good. I was involved in three sports and still found enough time for my schoolwork. The facilities were just renovated and are very much improved. It was a great school to attend.

Throughout my four years here I've noticed that people are treated different by the staff depending on what they do for sports, activities or how their grades are. To me that is not okay and everyone should be seen differently but not given more/less privileges than another. Going here also made me realize most parents, teachers and students are more worried about sports than an actual education.

Bullying and uncaring staff. This school has a very "good ole boys" mentality. Don't expect to fit in if you are new to the area. The school needs to be more focused on teaching the kids grammar than being so focused on sports. You are graduating kids who can't spell our write properly. Way to go GS...
