Glendale High School has excellent teachers, many AP and dual credit class options, plus numerous sports and activities to be involved in. Principal Josh Groves is always open to visiting with parents and students and encourages parent involvement. Glendale’s size is just right- it allows for a wide variety of electives and advanced courses while also giving everyone the opportunity for extracurricular activities.

This school has been nothing but damaging. The teachers do not care about the students, the students are always mean or bullying, students do not do work and always push it off. It has no equality, everyone just fights or hate each other, the bathrooms are disgusting and full of graffiti. Everyone dreads going there every day. As a former student who transferred out, it was one of my best decisions. This whole place needs help.

The way they handled covid!! They have my son online books and a few instructional papers and expected him to learn trigonometry like that without any actual instruction. And that's not even the bad part. The bad part is, they did little to nothing to help bring his grades back up after he came back to in person learning and just let fall on his face academically. I'm not sure my son is going to come back from this confidence slap.

A good way to describe this school in one word, is "incompetent." It feels like the teachers have no idea what they're doing, and the policies make it nearly impossible to learn with ease. Bullying, from kids, and staff is off the walls, and God forbid a kid tells their parent about it, because the school will deny it. Yay. I'm tired of it. I've only been here a year, and I'm already falling behind most kids, outside of glendale, because we don't know how to teach. They give us an assignment, and that't that. I learn more about the aspects of reality, and the universe from my cat. Cancer.

Hands down the best school in this area of the state. Fantastic in every way with a very strong history of preparing students for great success. Some schools accept that high school is the end of the students education, but GHS is for those that go on to higher learning.

Teachers a very traditional:textbooks, worksheets and bubble tests. Building has had very little improvement since it opened in 1963. Class sizes for core classes are 30+. Administration are too eager to put students in ISS for minor offenses. Administrators don't want or care about parents opinion. Glendale or Kickapoo are in the in SPFD, but that is not saying much.
