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.

I loved Glendale. Much like other schools, you get what you put into it. If you join a lot of clubs and do activities, you will make friends. Glendale offers the environment for you to grow and have a great experience, but it doesn't exactly force you too. You have to also work at it.

Overall I enjoyed going to Glendale. I started in 2019-2020 so my freshman year was messed up bad by covid and we only went to school half the week. I feel ready for what's ahead of me and am glad I got to go through Glendale for my high school.

The way they handled covid!! They have my son online books and a few instructional papers and expected him to learn trigonometry like that without any actual instruction. And that's not even the bad part. The bad part is, they did little to nothing to help bring his grades back up after he came back...

A good way to describe this school in one word, is "incompetent." It feels like the teachers have no idea what they're doing, and the policies make it nearly impossible to learn with ease. Bullying, from kids, and staff is off the walls, and God forbid a kid tells their parent about it, because the...
