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.

The best parts were the people who I met along the way who helped shape me into who I am today. These people have made this school fun and have helped me learn what I want to do with my future. 1 problem at Glendale is they don't have classes in which you can see if you do enjoy what you want to major in which makes the decision harder on what you would like to do.

Glendale High School has lots of resources for students and activities to be apart of. As well as great sports facilities. However, the school is not very spirited, and certain classes can do a better job on preparing students for college level course work.

I have loved being a part of Glendale High school for four years. The music department has been one of my favorite things, allowing me to become a leader, and have fun. I think that students have a safe and supportive environment for learning. There are so many resources to be successful, there is not much that I would want to be changed. The food quality could be better, and some of the facilities could be cleaner, but overall it is good.

I'm not sure what happened to this school after the pandemic, really we should say the current pandemic as this school policies refuse to let anyone move on despite the rest of the world returning to normal. The school rewards bullying. Administrators turn their back on issues. IEPs are ignored. Edu...

Glendale High School is a hidden GEM. Do not listen to any other rumors. If you are an involved parent and student, you will be able to have four amazing years at Glendale High School.
