I just finished my third year at GBS and I am very sad knowing next year is my last one. Our school spirit is unmatched and the school has endless resources to help students. One source is the TLC, (Titan Learning Center), where students can go before, during, and/or after school for free tutoring help. GBS's elective options are outstanding and having the power to take and learn about something you are passionate in is amazing. We do have fights around the school, but we also have security guards and parapros who reach them and disband them in minutes. I love GBS and wouldn't go anywhere else; if you are looking to transfer here or send your child here-- this is your sign! GBS is not perfect and I haven't had a 'perfect' time there (not referring to covid), but at the end of the day the school itself is amazing. There are going to be kids and teachers you 'have problems with' everywhere, but I rather 'have problems with' people at GBS than another school.
The school’s education is incredibly thorough, and has options for every level of learning. There are also clubs for any interest which are well-funded and allow for fun experiences. The teachers are great, and the cafeteria food is really good!
Glenbrook South is a fabulous school. I have been to a couple other high schools, and Glenbrook South by far has the most engaged, caring teachers. I am so lucky to have staff that thoroughly cares about the well-being of their students lives in and out of school. The atmosphere itself is very positive and welcoming. There are multiple activities and clubs for all students to take part in and get involved within the school and make friends. I feel great privilege being able to attend Glenbrook South. This school has so much to offer including great counselors, tutoring and athletic facilities, college preparation and more.
