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.

I have had a good experience I do say community involvement and school culture seem to be lacking.

Glenn needs a more visually appealing campus and to patch/fix all the open walls of the buildings exteriors and leaks in the ceilings of the hallways/walkways.

I am a parent of a student who recently transferred to this school. My child came from a blue ribbon and CA distinguished school. After hearing my child's daily activities in this school, I'm very shocked that there is rampant dishonesty in this school. For example, students from an earlier time of...
