7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVery positive. It is quite the gem of a public school with a broad population. It's in view of the ocean and beach with a strong marine/biology perspective.Parent Review4y ago - Glynn Middle School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI'm quite sad. My child wants to learn so much more but it's like pulling teeth to get them to actually challenge him! He spends day after day bored in his classes with little to no challenge. A few teachers should retire and give it up - assignments are given and never graded (probably lost) and PE is a joke, they just send the kids outside to walk around the track. I have a child that wants to learn and could be excelling at this age and instead is bored.Parent Review5y ago - Glynn Academy

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family loves Glynn Academy. Rich in history, this is a downtown school (gated) and has the feel of a college campus. Teachers will push and encourage your child beyond their comfort zone. They are quick to offer college referrals and really prepare your child to hit college running. They really go beyond what is expected from teachers and invest in your children. Sports and team spirit play a huge role at GA. Terrors Football has produced some college & NFL level players. In addition, Terrors baseball is home to Adam Wainwright (pitcher for St. Louis Cardinals). Tennis, Golf, Volleyball, Softball, Sailing, Theater etc. They have something for everyone. GA is home to the Pride of the Golden Isles Band, who have won many Champion titles in marching band competitions. As a parent, there may be some kinks - well nothing is perfect and this is a big learning age - but two of my daughters have attended here as will my youngest when the time comes. I highly recommend Glynn Academy! GO TERRORS!!Parent Review2y ago - Check out schools near 1709 Bruce Dr.
