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.

Glenbrook South is a great school to prepare you for college or any post-highschool plans. Get involved with all GBS has to offer and embrace your high school years.

Glenbrook South was a very fun experience, as I was on the football team for all four years. There were a thousand kids in my grade so you really did not see everyone but you make friends very quickly. With that there is good food and a lot of good coaches and teachers. Overall, I think Glenbrook South is very good and it prepares you very well for college.
