Smiths Station High School

This school is dangerous for our children and sets them up for drastic failure in future schools. There is so little internal communication; on more than one occasion my son was LOST for over an hour while going to a specialty class (he was hanging out in the library). If you child visits multiple teachers, they don t speak to each other. It s this lack of internal communication that allowed my son to be lost and no one even be alerted. In all fairness, I have run into a couple teachers that seem to really get it but they aren t the primary teacher and again, lack of communication puts my child risk. Educationally, there is little to no structure in the curriculum and even worse communication with parents. I never know what he s working on, never see homework, and can t get answers from the primary teacher. My child's report card states he is doing great, yet his test scores and independent assessments show him way below grade level. I m not one to write poor reviews, in fact I ve written great reviews about a previous school but I feel compelled to share. I wish I had known what we were facing before moving to this area.

This school effectively deals with bullying:My granddaughter would come home crying everyday, of bullying from the children at this school. This school has toxic learning environments that are unsafe for children.

I hate this school because my sister has been bullied byra.metcalf

My son is a 2nd generation Glenwood attendee. Glenwood has done nothing but improved since I attended their 23 years ago. My son loves the school, has made a ton of friends. The teachers are wonderful with the students. The school is family oriented. The only downside is the tuition is a little high but not in comparison to other private schools in our area.

Good school. The teachers and staff all show concern for the educational and spiritual growth of the students. Class size is small,so you child receives individual attention and the ability to learn at a pace that is appropriate for him. Excellent discipline and behavior policies. Though they are a pentacostal church affiliated school, they do not attempt to force their religious views on you or your children. They provide a solid Christian based curriculum in an atmosphere of love and respect. The homework load is challenging, but not overwhelming. They provide many activities, projects and field trips throughout the school year. Overall, my family is satisfied with this school and would gladly recommend it to others.
