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.

John Glenn is an alright high school. Most of the teachers are really nice and know what there doing and theres only a handful that are mean. The kids are mean to anyone who's different but i think most high schools are like that.

I think John Glenn is a pretty great school but it also has its downsides. I have gone to Glenn for all 4 years of my high school career but didn't go to the district before so my view was new from the start. From not knowing anyone going in I know almost everyone so it is a really inclusive space. I feel as if getting involved in School activites is a great idea whether it's a sport or a club. I have also learned that yes the staff are there to help but they don't always know what's right for you because they don't always know what your going through. So my advice fine that staff member you trust because they will help you of you just tell them what's going on.

The school is great as far as the food and staff (shoutout to ms nimmerguth and ms paul) They offer free breakfast for everyone and you have plenty of oppurtunities to get involved, even though on a sad note bright futures is gone... but the students are out of control! I know that it's not exactly...
