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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Growing up in Glenwood and spending my entire early education here I think that my best experience in Glenwood high school had to be the sports. I have had the pleasure of making lifelong friends through softball as well as tennis and these sports have always been a fantastic way for me to grow my skills and become a better person.

This is an amazing school. When being here it makes me so happy because the community is amazing. The community and pride surrounding Glenwood are outstanding and have taught me many things. From being ready for college to having friends I can travel with to colleges.

He is a lot better than the pervious principal, school pride went up emmensely after he was hired. Most of the programs that I had problems with have changed. Foreig...

As a former employee of the school, I can say that it is not getting better, Unfortunately, what is best for the students, staff and parents is being ignored. I am so sorry it has gotten like this. I love the kids and the parents, but something has to change soon.
