I have loved all 4 years at this school, met the most amazing teachers, have an incredibly diverse set of friends, and have had slim to no trouble getting any help I ever needed. If there was something I'd like to see change, those wonderful teachers need to be paid more.

Glenwood Springs High School is welcoming and a great environment. I always felt that faculty and people cared about the students. They had great academics and pushed students to better and college ready. The school was safe and always clean. Great overall student life.

it is a decent school although i wish there were more options with the math programs. I also wish there was more funding for the school because of the facilities. this includes not having enough parking spots for all of the students and the bathrooms being in poor condition all the time. but i think the academics are better than the rest of the valley, as well as the sports.

Great learninig, patient teachers, nice yet strict. I went there last year but moved to Coal Ridge High school this year. There is a huge difference in the learning enviornment... the teachers do not make you feel stupid as some may make you feel here.
