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.

Loved my experience at GP! The teachers are what makes GP special. Our community is strong and tight knit and you feel like family!

Being a student at glacier peak has been an interesting experience to say the least, from bomb threats to lovely events put on by clubs and ASB the spectrum for what goes on at GP is not short by any means. The culture at the events including sports events is very lively. However, during the school day the building is full with cranky teens for the most part.

I really enjoy being a student at Glacier Peak. It is easy to make connections with teachers and other students. The school is also new which is very nice. The STEM classes at Glacier Peak are great. I took Anatomy and Physiology last year and learned a lot and I am currently in Molecular Biology learning about infectious diseases which has been very interesting.
