My experience at Glendale is the only high school I have ever known. It is what you make of it. There are challenging classes to prepare you for college, but a lot of students chose to not take them. Despite how much we pick on our school, we are a lot better off than other schools. Bullying is considerably less, and we all strive to improve the school.

Glendale is a very small school in a very small area. Although it lacks diversity in terms of race, the student body has its own sense of diversity as all students are very different whilst still being accepted by eachother.

Poor class options, Excellent Teachers, 0star lunches. There is not a lot of upside to going here compared to other schools. There is a current drug problem, no diversity, safety and administration is strained at best, and there is an overall lack of concern for anything that takes place in the building during or after hours.

HORRIBLE! They feel as though parents don't know their own children, they don't handle complaints, they do not tolerate criticism, and talk down to parents. Very disrespectful to parents.
