Glenwood Springs High School Reviews
Rating 3.75 out of 5 170 reviews
Glenwood Springs is a very diverse school, there's a lot of inclusion here where all grade levels feel welcomed. It's a safe place for students so express anything they would like. This could be music, thoughts, feelings, or anything they'd like the school to change, the school takes into consideration so all students feel they are in a comfortable place. There's not much I would like for Glenwood Springs High school to change, I am happy here. The only thing I can think of would be the activities going on in the bathrooms, you can't really go to the bathrooms during passing period because there is students in there doing things they shouldn't. Not only during passing period but it's become a common place where students feel safe doing those things because they know teachers are most likely not to go into the bathrooms. They have tried regulating this to stop these activities but not much has changed, students still continue with these activities. Overall, I'd say I love my school.
As a student who transferred to Glenwood Springs High School in the midst of the pandemic, my experience was above the one I had received at my previous high school. The staff were all incredibly welcoming, along with the student body as a whole. It was so easy to meet new people and join new clubs to heighten my experience at the school. The teachers were eager to elevate your education and they were all approachable outside the hours of the class.
Some very good teachers. Good activities and opportunities to explore interests. Other teachers are not as interested as they could be in their job. Offers many advanced courses and provides decent test preparation. There is a significant teacher turnover so sometimes inexperience is an issue. There are a good amount of teachers who truly are passionate about their profession and being involved in the students development.
