As a parent of a Glenbrook grad and two still in attendance, I have to say that this is a strong school in the Honors Programs and offers great opportunities for sports. There is a serious problem with college preparation for the average child. Last three grad. classes not were not prepared for college
... Read more English or Science, unless were honors students. Lots of potential and parental support here, but not any leadership from the top tiers. Used to be top notch, although now you have alot of administrators and yet no real administrating. Communication at this small school is seriously lacking, causing much strife and chaos to filter down to families. No real leadership in Atheletics, except for football. Strength in Honors Program is commendable and if you have one that qualifies here, Glenbrook is the place for you. GHS offers a safe and wholesome enviornment. Nice folks, just disorganized.

As the parent of a college student who attended Glenbrook School I feel that the school prepared my son for college. The current Headmaster and both assistant headmasters went above and beyond what would have been expected in helping my son.

Glenbrook is a very good school. It is my fourth school to atend and by far the best. I will graduate this May and have already been offered four scholarships plus have earned TOPS. I read the slightly negative comments about the Headmaster and have to disagree. I have found the Headmaster and both

I am an alumne of Glenbrook, of which I am honored and highly grateful. To help us make the decision about attending this school, we had a multitude of faculty, parents and students,involved with Glenbrook, sing it's praises. It wasn't long that we were singing too! I was given opportunities to excell

I graduated with scholarships to help pay for my collage education, as well as did more than 3/4 of my graduating class. When I attened colege, I was more than prepared for all of the classes. And because I was adequately prepared for the ACT, I was able to skip a few of the basic classes. I graduated collage in 4 years and am currently a teacher myself. There is no doubt my children are attending Glenbrook School. Read less

After researching other private schools in the area, we were elated to find Glenbrook School in Minden, LA. We felt, from the beginning, that our daughter would not be just another face lost in a sea of many. We were immediately struck by the warmth and personal attention--to our daughter, and to us

Although most of the faculty is friendly and the school provides many academic and extracurricular activities/opportunuties, we have found that there seems to be a lack of adequate communication. This exists at various times and at varying degrees between administration and faculty. Therefore, this trickles into communication issues between teachers and parents. Other than this one issue, we have been extremely pleased with the quality of education and opportunity that Glenbrook School provides. By far, they exceed any standards that we measure them by, as parents and as new members of the Minden community. Read less

As the parent of three children attending Glenbrook School in Minden, LA, (one each in elementary, middle and high school) I can say that I have been very pleased with the overall education my kids are receiving. Glenbrook is staffed by a group of caring and committed educators, with both long tenured

Each Glenbrook student is provided with a great opportunity to receive a solid, well-rounded education. The Board of Trustees and Board of Directors work together to assure the staff, plant and facilities provide a safe and productive learning environment for each child. I am pleased that my children have the opportunity to attend a school of this caliber. Read less

Glenbrook School is not unlike many small private schools in smaller towns. There are a couple of excellent faculty members. Mr. Wayne Orr is a remarkable teacher and any student is lucky to be in his class. The same cannot be said for the remainder of the faculty. The headmaster is a pleasant

He has the difficult job of finding quality teachers (particular in the sciences and math) without the benefit of a financial incentive. Salaries fall below those paid public school teachers. The parents are a caring involved group, who sometimes become frustrated with the failure of leadership. The sports programs are very good offering a number of opportunities for the students to excel and enhance their self-esteem. Discipline is erratic. Read less
