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.

Over the four years I've been at Glynn Academy, I've had a good experience. First, all the staff are very nice and helpful. If you're ever struggling with homework or school work they will help you out. So many new clubs are introduced every year, so they're multiple oppurtunities to stay involved and make tons of friends. Football or sport in general are always fun to go to and to hang out with friends.

Everyone here is so nice! I found a sign in the bathroom saying free cookie and there was a cookie behind the toilet :)

In the middle of my junior year, I would say that my experience has been pretty good. The teachers are good at their jobs and my school counselor is one of the best I've interacted with. It's definitely been an experience I won't forget.

They are quick to offer college referrals and really prepare your child to hit college running. They really...

Facilities are sub-par. Over-achieving students are bullied for wanting to learn. No one cares about actually gaining knowledge. Many students are unruly. It is a school in an area where no one cares about bettering themselves or the community. I graduated from GA with a 4.1 and a 30 ACT, and becaus...

I am currently a sophomore (class of 2018) at GA who has also been to BHS.As a freshman at the other school, I have had a middle school-like experience there (in other words, it was beyond anything I would have imagined and it hurt me severly). I will post a review for BHS as well.I have a few frien...
