GreatSchools Rating
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.

During my time at Glencliff, despite obstacles that come with attending public school, such as Covid, fights, and changes in budgets for certain clubs, I learned the importance of taking charge of your own education and picking the right friends. Overall, I had a lot of fun and created many fond memories.

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.

I graduated this past may. I attended Glencliff from my sophomore to senior year. It was mostly welcoming. Most students are friendly as well as the faculty. Some of the higher ups can get power crazy but it's mostly livable. The culture is mostly lax as well. There are a variety of sports and clubs to suit most people's needs as well as AP classes. Overall, it was a pleasant experience; however a lot of the kids don't take school seriously there, but that's to be expected from high I suppose.
