Glennwood Academy Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-06-04 “Glennwood is an excellent school. My child just finished her 4th grade year and had a wonderful experience. She made many new friends and excelled in all subjects. The staff is nurturing and holds high expectations for all students, and the principal is one of the best in the state. The Friday afternoon Clubs are a fantastic outlet for students to participate in things that interest them. Next year the average class size will be approx. 23, and yes, we will have 3 trailers at the school for 5th graders. My daughter is dying to be in a trailer, so I hope she gets one. (We've been spoiled in Decatur for too long in not having trailers - just ask any parent in other neighboring districts who have had multiple trailers for decades!) It's a sign that more and more families are choosing Decatur to raise their children.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-04-11 “We have been very happy at Glenwood and have had no issues at all with the principal. She has been nothing but helpful, kind and reasonable in the 5 years that we have been involved with her. I have two gifted children who have attended Glennwood and both thrived there and were interested and engaged. My child has 20 children in his class so I am not sure where the 24-26 number comes from. IB is a great program and Glennwood is implementing it well. True, it is getting more crowded and less diverse but the school system is completing a demographic study that will guide them on how and where to expand.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-03-27 “Principal leadership is mediocre.Most teachers are very good and there are a number of teachers that are exceptional.There are many extra activities that students can participate in that will challenge them.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-03-20 “Glennwood is neat, clean and orderly, but is also overcrowded, overly strict, and bland. There are now trailers...no wait...'learning cottages' (what they call them), due to the lack of planning regarding student population growing. The class sizes range from 24 to 26 kids per class. Not the 'small class size' that CSD claims to have. There is a loss of diversity due to the gentrification of the city...thats not the school systems fault though. The administration is somewhat defensive and not friendly. I don't feel welcome as a parent. Overall its an OK school if you have an average student and aren't looking for something exceptional.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-02-11 “We moved into Decatur half way through my daughters 5th grade year. Coming from a suburban elementary school the transition went off without a glitch. She absolutely loved the school and had no problem making friends or jumping right into activities. The 5th grade field trip was a 2-night, 3-day learning adventure on Typee Island! I was very impressed with the teachers and principle who really care about the students and their achievements.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-02-08 “Great environment as a transition to Middle School. The place is neat, clean, orderly, and has high expecatations.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-04-27 “Jan Goodloe made this school a 'great place to learn'. She supports the teachers that work hard and is fair to all.”
