John Glenn High School

This school is the absolute BEST I've ever been to. All of the teachers are amazing. It is air conditioned and it has amazing security. I feel so comforted in this school. I came from a different school and I have never felt this welcome in my Life, and the kids are very nice. If I was a parent I would DEFINITELY send my kid to this school. Great programs also. Since 2005 everything has been updated. I love it there.

Science department is particularly strong, especially chemistry; English department is weak in advanced levels and many of its strongest faculty members have retired or shifted to other subjects in recent years. Math is solid. History classes depend a little too much on movies to keep kids interested. The fine arts are very good, and the technical arts are supported by the exceptional Bay-Arenac ISD Career Center. Lack of A.P. classes across the board is a definite drawback. The faculty is overwhelmingly caring, though there are always a few bad apples. I know several people who would have dropped out if it weren't for the the intervention of some particularly compassionate staff members.

I have three sucessful young ladies who all have attended this school. Like any school, if the student has positive support, they will migrate toward success and John Glenn is an excelent platform to give them a great start. My children understand that the choices they made in this school, laid the foundation they needed to be sucessful in college and in life. If you are intrested in providing your child with a great school, great community and positive role models, than you need not look any further. (I have 3 children all carried 3.5 gpa or better over a 10 year span youngest to graduate 2008)

The facility is generally well maintained. The staff is wonderful, with the exception of a few. The students are well behaved and are disciplined appropriately. The only bad thing about this school is it lacks AP courses and the lunch period is much too short. Anyone that says anything else bad about this school is definitely wrong. If you want a safe, clean school that provides a focused education, John Glenn is the place to send your child.

school is neat and well kept but lunch program is substandard. Dicipline is very poor and school rules very lax. As a result the atmosphere for learning is poor at best. Overall teacher performance is below average. Music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities seem to take top priority over achademics. Overall parent involvement is well below average.

Facility is clean and well-maintained. Lunch program is inadequate and too short. Most teachers do not attempt to help or motivate students, but leave them to figure it out alone. Administration is geared toward 'tolerance' and generic values which leave students feeling unprotected and without a voice.
