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.

Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish Washington is a really solid school with a strong foundation for students. The teaching staff is amazing and gives students so many opportunities to grow and flourish. The supporting staff is readily available for support and really care about the students and their individual needs.
