I have a first year student at GBH and she loves the school. She has done very well. Signed up for German and piano. She plays the piano and speak German. Go figure. The school said they teach these subjects/activities. The teacher did their job. My daughter did her job in paying attention. Me as a parent stay active in her daily studies. Granted GBH needs a serious facelift but what is inside managing and teaching the kids is what matter most.

there is no expectation of being anything more than a B student here. the kids are not rich and therefore dont invest in themselves academically. they just churn into the standard blue collar glen burnie experience. sad sad sad!!

I have 2 children at GBH. Both have wonderful teachers who want to teach and help my children succeed. It is not perfect but believe me it could be much worse - I've seen it at other schools!

I attended GBHS, and it is a great school. All of my teachers want out of their way to help me in any way possible. Yes the kids may rome around the school, but what do you expect to happen with an open campus. I can gurantee you, if you put the kids from Sevrna Park or Broadneck High Schools into GBHS they would rome around to. The job of GBHS's staff is to teach the kids, not be the parnets.

I have one student that grduated from Gb with a 4.0 gpa, one that is in 10th grade on the honor society and very active in sports, and one that will be going Gb next year as a freshmen. I have found that most of the teachers at GB are great teachers. If I had concerns about my child I contacted them. Many students at GB are out of control and have very little guidance at all. The students lack respect of the teachers and the administrators. My children do just fine but I am very involved in all that they do. You can't lose grip on them. Even though they are older they are still children that need guidance. The staff can only do so much with all the children that attend the school. Some things must start at home.

I attended Glen Burnie High School (class of 05) after transferring from a private school overseas. I love being a Gopher, but the students run rampant (fences or no), the teachers don't care about truancy, the guidance counsellors are horribly underqualified (see my transcripts for proof), the books are outdated, graduating students are put through without proper grammar or organizational skills, etc. In summary, at Glen Burnie High School, the bare minimum is more than enough.

Witnessed stabbings, drugs, teacher/student fist fights, kids carrying guns in backpacks, everything you shouldn't see while your in school.

I volunteer at the school and I get to see first hand how things are really going in school. My son actually says he likes knowing that I'm there and that I'm helping with the school office. My son has been to a couple different schools and I for one will have to say that this school is by far the best one he's been to. Go Gophers!
