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.

Our school has a great fine arts department. The music and theatre at East is incredible. The programs even go to the elementary and middle schools to preform and share their wonderful program.

Glenbard East is a school that has something for everyone. AP classes, clubs, and sports was my focus.

There were teachers who truly cared about your success and there were some who couldn't be bothered. I felt that the AP and honors course teachers were often more passionate about our success and more interested in connecting with the students. In general, to find success at this school, it is possible but you must put in the work. You have to ask for help when needed, join sports and clubs, and seek out opportunities.
