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.

My overall experience at Gln Allen High has been great. Of coarse all Schools can approve on some things but I dont have anything but good things to say about my school. I've enjoyed my teachers, peers, social clubs and much more. I'm excited for the next chapter of my life. The last two years was a little intense but overall it has been worth while. Being a parent of a community who strive for excellence is great no comparison.

I graduated in the class of '23, and I can say I had a good experience here. The teachers and administration try to ensure that every student is ready to tackle whatever comes next in their lives.

Glen Allen High school was fun to experience. I went there when it was fairly new still. The hallways were always a little bit too crowded, but it was manageable. The school spirit was always a really big thing while I was there and I found it encouraging. It really helped everyone feel involved and included.

the overt racism and ableism disguised as jokes at this school is disgusting. teachers are hostile towards students and have a complete and utter disregard for mental health. when students finally do get reported for misconduct, they typically get slaps on the wrist.

Glen Allen cares most about test scores. Not enough hands-on learning but hard academics. This school also allowed students to do pretty much what they want and had almost no rules. Example: Technology at lunch? Fine. Phones in class? We won't do nothing. Headphones? Fine. Hall passes? No.
