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.

Very good school with many opportunities. Offers many clubs and different classes based on student interests. Great sports teams and supportive teachers too!

So far, my Glastonbury high school experience has been well. This high school really is what you make of it, as there are many resources available to students like the reading and writing center, math center, and peer tutoring clubs. Obviously it is your typical high school with cliches and some bad teachers but overall I have had a positive experience with most of the teachers.
