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.

During my years at Glendale high school I had amazing teachers that were always eager to provide help when I needed it. The students, from my experience, were all friendly. There were of course some staff that gave me a hard time but I'd like to believe that they weee just having a bad day at the time. The courses at Glendale high school were challenging but useful in their own way. I believe I had a better time at school because of the friendly and eager staff that would always greet with a "good morning" and end the day with a "have a great rest of your day". Because of these people I was able to make it through the past four years at Glendale high school.

Glendale Highschool is the oldest highschool in Arizona. I really enjoy the highschool. Being the oldest it doesn't have the greatest facilities and resources, but it does have a great culture behind it. Being a Cardinal means a lot to me and it means a lot to many other students in GHS.
