I was a part of the class of 2025, and I did enjoy my time here, for the most part. Academically I did feel like teachers cared about what grades I was getting in the class, specifically the ASL teacher there, she's a godsend. Aside from that, though, there have been instances of the building structurally just being a mess. Reviews previously have noted that there was a roach issue, and there still was one when I went there. Specifically in the locker rooms, there would be dead and live roaches everywhere. The school really doesn't seem to distribute funds evenly, as the arts department (where I spent most of my time) typically relied on student fundraisers and donations from the families, while brand new TVs were installed in the halls. Any club, really, relied on student fundraisers and donations. One thing I really liked about the school, though, is how it welcomes diversity. The multicultural club is a really underrated club! While most of the downsides from my high school experience was social, the school really wasn't THAT bad. Just a tad bit small for the amount of students there (I felt like I was trudging through mud in the halls to get to class) cause you kind of have to be ruthless on squeezing your way into the hall or else you're just never going to get to your class on time. Also note that at random times on random days there are things called "Hall sweeps" where any student who is still in the hallway without a pass after the bell has rung first gets a warning, then any other time found gets a detention, which is good to make sure that students are getting to class and not lingering, but again, the amount of people in such a small hallway makes it difficult to navigate.

If I could give negative stars I would. This school is absolutely the worst. They ate horrible. They care nothing about child safety. They are not trying to make a positive experience for children. If you have a special needs child They are not equipped to handle them. Regardless of countless times of contacting them about billing and harassment nothing is done. 100% would not recommend!!!!!

John Glenn School is what keeps me in Pine Hill...The staff goes above and beyond..my oldest attended another local district and it is truly night and day. The way they encourage family /school activities is great.
