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.

Attending EC glass has been very good for me. I've grown as a person and as a student. All of the resources we receive are very helpful for our futures. Being able to have help and assistance in many things is my favorite thing about our school. It shows that the faculty and staff really care about where we get in life.

I really had a good experience with E. C. Glass High, all the teachers were incredible when it came to making sure their students were able to get work done. Any complaints were handled immediately without hesitation, the staff were really nice when I needed help and was hesitant about asking.

The teachers, I feel, can be less motivated than the students to teach and cannot handle the works of the classroom. The quarantine changes have improved a lot of issues within the school, but majority of students are very unhappy or feel very unsafe within the school.
