Im a current student at glenwood. It is NOT a good school. if you live in findlay and have a child going into middle school. Save Glenwood as your last option. It may be big and pretty on the outside but it's not on the inside. Not all staff is bad in fact some are really really great. But a number of adults in the building treat students with disrespect and act as though students opinions are irrelevant. They don't take serious situations seriously when coming from students. I love a lot of the staff but students and discipline is treated differently depending on the level of power the students parents have. For example if a student's parent is part of the school board and the student is in the wrong in a situation the student will not receive as much discipline as a student whose parent is not as important in the same situation. A large number of students get into fights are rude disrespectful and flat out mean. The school does not stand up for bullying and a lot of problems are ignored. The system in general spends way too much on unnecessary things like brand new BenQ's for the classrooms when we already had smart boards that work way better than the new ones. We also just got new laptops that aren't any better than the old ones. My point here is they don't focus on important things like cafeteria food that doesn't give kids food poisoning. Don't even get me started on the transportation. Kids in findlay k-8 have to walk up to 1.6 miles! The bus drivers can't drive either i don't feel safe on my bus. The bus drivers don't enforce masks on buses even though by state law you have to wear a mask on public transportation. Glenwood is super stressful and I don't recommend it. We are also below state average in a lot of subjects. The teachers can be awesome don't get me wrong and there are so many nice people. The school is really beautiful but when it comes to the health of students findlay could care less.

great and supportive. i love all of the teachers!

Starts out great in K, then goes downhill. Now in 2nd grade, my daughter's Math skills have reversed. She could add in preschool and now she can't. They push the "touchpoint" method. This is a process normally used by special ed students, but touted by a company that sells the idea as a way to pass the gov. tests. They use a form of behavior correction that utilizes class humiliation. Really? Rarely do they show appreciation for good behavior. We do the weeks homework in one night and it only takes 45 minutes. I have worked to "undo" the horrendous math "techniques" taught by Jacobs 2nd grade. There is also a vicious lunch monitor. Don't believe me? Have lunch w/your kid there. Highly recommend finding another school before it is too late. I will be researching whether we can get out. Rated 2 stars for some positive...real close to 1.

The only good thing about this school is Anna Welker. She is a great person who does a great job. The teachers are not consistent. The parents are not notified of their children being punished. For sticking up for themselves or their friends. The staff is not taking care of the bullying. Their response is oh I forgot to talk to them. Yet the child who defends themself gets into trouble, that doesn't make sense to me.
