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.

I think that the best and worst parts of this school would have to be the culture. Depending on who you are the cultural experience can be good or bad. I think a change that could be good is for the school to be more inclusive to more people.

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...
