Teacher's are great, just the under-funding cheapens the experience for the students who truly want to learn.

Teachers are nice and the students are okay. I have had a lot of fun participating in school activities like International Day. I love how diverse my school is; it's a wonderful experience seeing different people's cultures and backgrounds.

Glen cliff High was a very interesting school. Before I attended Glen cliff High I was attending a preparatory school. They were academically rigorous but my school showed a lot of achievements academically. While Glen cliff High School was rigorous in a different way. It taught the students real life lesson and showed us there was more to life than just school and grades. They still pushed us academically but they pushed each assignment with a purpose. Some school just look at their students as grades or statics. While at Glen cliff High teachers tries to keep account the different type of students they were teaching. Other than language barrier or ethnic background. There were a lot of students who were born with advantage like money. While there were students who relied on the school just to be able to eat for the day. Glen cliff High does a really good job trying to accommodate their students. One thing I would change is the outlook people have of Glen cliff high school.

The school counselor told me that they were not equipped to handle students at an advanced level and that was why certain classes were not offered that other schools did.
