"I attended this school years ago, and not a day goes by that I don't use some bit of knowledge culled from my exceptional high school education. Fabulous district with unbelievable resources. A top-notch education and facility. Northbrook remains a wonderful place to live because the schools continue their tradition of excellence. Bravo."

"Glenbrook North was an ok school. It wasn't what I thought it would be, it's not the grates school at least the way I was treated there. I was discriminated against by some of the staff I had to go through a lot. they diden't even give me my sat score after I graduated"

"GBN is an amazing school. There are clubs, sports, and the arts to support any student's interests. Totally prepares students for post-secondary education. However, it lacks majorly in diversity. The school tries, but when your population is so homogeneous, it's difficult! I didn't appreciate it at the time but after undergraduate and graduate school I very much appreciate all my teachers did for me!"

"I love Glenbrook North. Glenbrook North prides itself on its 3 AI LOVE Glenbrook North. Glenbrook North prides itself on its 3 A's: Academics, Activities, and Athletics and they do a good job at each. As for the Academics, a few years back they switched to block scheduling, you have 8 classes, 4 of those classes one day and the rest of the 4 classes the next day. It gets the student prepared for college schedule wise when they won't have the same schedule every day in college. In addition, students don t have as much stress because there won t be as much homework on a daily basis and periods are each 90 minutes in length which allows for greater opportunities. You ll find there are no negatives in a 90 minute period, some critics say that 90 minutes is too long but the teacher doesn t lecture for 90 minutes straight, a lot"
