Glastonbury High School Reviews
Rating 4.03 out of 5 487 reviews
There are so many opportunities to take advantage of at this school and a wide variety of courses to take. Many are college-level and are great for accommodating high-achieving students. The course requirements are a bit restrictive and can clog up your schedule, but you can't expect much less from a high school. I guess I was so spoiled with my ability to choose classes to prepare me for my future career that I felt like I was in college already! Almost all teachers here love their jobs and put effort into teaching their classes and always support their students. The music program is great, I'm in the string chamber orchestra and at least half of my class gets into either NEMFA or All-states. They're building a brand new STEAM lab for classes and for after-school activities, filled with resources for STEM students like me. This is a great school and it really helped me discover who I wanted to be.
The best part about this school was the education it gave me. The classes and curriculum offered to students varied and truly set students like myself up for college. We had so much freedom in the classes and interests we could choose, which made me feel like I could really get a feel for what future career I would want to pursue. One thing I would definitely change about the school is the lack of guidance the guidance counselors truly give. I had to navigate my entire college application process by myself, with very little support from my counselor who told me all of my schools were "unrealistic reaches". I got accepted to 6/8 schools and waitlisted from 2.
So far, my Glastonbury high school experience has been well. This high school really is what you make of it, as there are many resources available to students like the reading and writing center, math center, and peer tutoring clubs. Obviously it is your typical high school with cliches and some bad teachers but overall I have had a positive experience with most of the teachers.
