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 North has a very strong academic program that allows for students to explore what they want to pursue in their future. It has sent many students into college knowing what they intend on studying. The social environment can be toxic, however there are sports and clubs along with classes that everyone can enjoy.

I felt that attending Glenbrook North Highschool is the ultimate American Highschool experience. For better or for worse. It has a great education track record, but I've heard some social and teacher horror stories from other students while I was attending. It is both an old and new school at the same time as it is an old building with many new additions to the building (mostly new sports facilities).

If your child needs special education this may not be the school for your child. The special education teachers are wonderful but the process of getting your child enrolled in special education is a nightmare. Don’t even dream of doing it on your own. Make sure you have an official diagnosis for wha...
