I like the school, but the one thing I absolutely hate about Glen Crest is the students. The students do not care about education whatsoever. All they care about is being popular and their friends. To be honest, my favorite part of the school day is learning in science and all the other classes. I hate the school so much, but it's not the school's fault. The teachers are great and the food is ok. There are excellent after school activities. I'm in Chess Club, Math Team, Science Club, Track and Field, and Intramural Flag Football. I think it's kind of funny about how the students there don't care about their future. By the way, I am in 8th grade at Glen Crest now. You could say I'm a nerd considering I love learning and I don't look forward to going to school to talk with friends (I don't have any real friends, only study buddies). Don't get me wrong, it's not every person in the school doesn't care about there future. A good 10% actually do get good grades. Bullying is only a problem in 6th and 7th grade. By 8th, everyone respects one another. The principal doesn't do anything really. He's just there and I just see him in the halls. I would love this school if the students cared.
I' m a student, at Glen Crest and I love this school. Until you have attended a day at this school, you can't judge it. No school is perfect, but to me, Glen Crest has been the best school I have ever attanded! I thank all of my teachers for the best 3 school years of my life!
There is a large bullying problem at this school which has been ignored or insufficiently addressed.
I'm in 7 grade now, and alot of the teachers are really nice, but the thing is, if students are doing bad stuff, the teachers let it slide way to often. But other then that I love Glen Crest!
I go to Glen Crest right now too, 6th grade,And its awsome. They have so many exter activities, such as inturmural sports, art club, drama club, and even a chess/math team. The food is awsome, and we get a lot of really useful education, do lots of fun simulatios, and make new friends. The teachers are the greatest. Over all a great school. Go Spartans!
I go to this school right now. I'm in my first year. And to tell you the truth its just okay. I dont like it but i dont hate it. There are way to many rules to follow. Our principal is a jerk. I'm glad we are getting a new one. And some of the teachers are nice but some are just plain mean.
i attended glen crest and am now in high school. i have very mixed feelings about the school. there are a wide range of sports, however as far as cuts go, it's very biused. its a very safe school, however if you are in a certain group or get on the wrong side of someone dangerous situations can come. this happens rarely but has happened. the education is generally good, most of the teachers are very good. there are a few questionable ones. very good music programs, no complaints there. overall a pretty good school. i enjoyed it for the most part.
I think it is a great school. My son is doing very well at the school because he is highly motivated and encouraged by the teachers and the whole system itself. It is also good in discipline, they make sure that new students are not bullied by the seniors or the naughty ones!
This school rocks it is the best they give you the most up right respect that an adult can give you I love Glen Crest Middle school. I would choose this school over any other school in the counrty. They are go physically as in sports mnetally as in learning and acidemically as in clubs and classes.
This school goes completely overboard with meaningless rules and regulations. It is amazing that any child says they enjoy going to school here.
Great School my daughter really enjoys it. They have a lot of clubs and sports. It's an amazing school.
Glen Crest is an awesome school to go to and I enjoy it so much. Us kids have so much fun and learn so much every day we set foot in the classroom. Our teachers are awesome and the food isn't half bad. I believe if your looking for a great school for your child, Glen Crest should be your number one choice.
