I attended this school from kindergarten to 6th grade in the late 90s. It was a great school then, and now my daughter goes there. I was initially nervous because I struggled with extreme anxiety as a child. Seeing my daughter attend the same rooms and halls as I did brought back many fears. However, she's incredibly happy there. She's been there for 4 years now and has never wanted to miss a day. Due to COVID, she, along with other kids, faced academic setbacks of a year or more. Initially, I was concerned when I learned they didn't have homework because I wondered how they would catch up. However, somehow, she managed to reach her grade level in reading and math by the end of this year. She's on track to start where she should be, thanks to the care and dedication of her teachers and, from what I understand, most of the other kids are fortunate to have caring teachers too.

Moved out of Glencoe after spending my freshman and sophomore years there, and let me warn any parents, pick another school to send your child to. Although the main entrance looks very impressive and new, the interior where 80% of the classrooms are located are windowless, too warm, too cold, or generally uncomfortable. The design is very old, and very crowded at passing times, and the bathrooms are vandalized nearly daily, and always smell of weed. If you're lucky, you might walk in on one of various groups smoking in the bathrooms, who seemingly go unpunished. I have even seen entire stalls get demolished. Almost all of the language classes at Glencoe have been cancelled. I believe that the only other language available at Glencoe is Spanish, while they used to have German, French, Japanese and I think even Russian in the past. Many of the vertical stairways have severe water stains and gum everywhere, and some Advanced Placement classrooms have the worst placement in the entire building, such as the AP Human Geography classroom, a common introductory class to Advanced Placement, which is only about seven feet tall, has no windows, and has much of the building's ventilation systems connected right above it.Even though there are great supports for special education students and students with IEPs, I still would not recommend this school for them. Their "Pathway Center" is only about two classrooms in size and does not have nearly enough tables, and they have to use other classrooms as more space for seating. For people with general social anxiety, or just want quiet, this place is also not for you.Overall, I rate this school 1.5/5, they could do so much better.

This school was pretty horrible. The teachers there don’t have any to no compassion they treat you like you don’t have anything to do in life besides school. There is also so much fighting and violence that take place there and not many of the staff make us feel safe and protected in this school.
