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.

Its a good school and you meet so many amazing people, each unique and different. The STEM teachers could be better though.

I would like to see a change in cleaner bathrooms and better enforcement of safety. The bathrooms are disgusting and students are disrespectful to each other, especially in the lunch lines. The faculty doesn't do the best job helping students and instead scares them. Teachers need to start caring about their students wellbeing.

I have been attending Glendale High School since beginning of senior year. The teachers and students have been extremely welcoming and I was able to quickly make a lot of new friends and find my social circle. The schools offers a lot of clubs and the opportunity to start your own club. There are a lot of counselors and a college advisor who are ready to help and give assistance. The school is very safe and calm.

It's an ok school, some bad teachers, some good ones and some ok ones. It was a fun experience to say the least but it was also a struggle with some teachers.
