"Pros: The school is historic and there are a lot of nice teachers and other faculty members. The school's population isn't that big. Well I wouldn't consider it big because I moved to Brunswick from the Metro Atlanta area. We have a great arts department. There are a lot of A.P. classes. Cons: Teachers are sometimes too nice. I graduated with people who couldn't even read ,but teachers passed them. I think this school is focused more on meeting the standards than actually caring about the education students are receiving. The area is not so great. This school is diverse, but somewhat segregated. We have a beautiful campus, but there is also a lot of trash everywhere. There is no dress code and sometimes students come to school wearing pants that are too low or come to school looking "inappropriate". You're going to school, not a club. Sometimes random people who live nearby do come on campus. Students are required to wear I.D.s. If you don't have your I.D. on you get a citation. I don't really understand the purpose of wearing I.D.s Did I enjoy my time at GA? I kind of did. It's not the best school, but it's not the worst. It's an okay school. That's all. Recent Graduate."

"I attended Glynn Academy for all four years of high school and graduated in 2008. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The teachers and administrative staff are all fantastic, and it absolutely prepared me for college. The campus resembles that of a college campus, with many buildings and is one of the oldest schools in the state. I learned more there than in many of the college courses I took. I was on the college prep course and took ammunition AP classes, which were very challenging and rewarding. The school is not located in a great area, but there are always police officers and staff outside, making sure no one enters the campus that shouldn't. You're always going to see mixed reviews from students and parents on schools, because every student has a different experience, and I believe much of it has to do with how dedicated to learning the student is. The teachers do all that they can, but people have to remember that they can only do so much. It is the parents job to teach their child right from wrong and be sure they are keeping up with their studies and being raised the right way. It's the student's responsibility to do their part as well. All in all, I highly recommend Glynn Academy."

"Worst school my kids have ever attended!! I have found most teachers and administration to be uninterested and unwilling to work with the kids or the parents. Parent participation is discouraged at every turn. Rules for students change constantly depending on your families "status" in the community."

"I had to laugh at the 9 rating for this GA HS. By result of the affluent island kids boosting test scores no doubt? GA is like sending your child to HS in a jail. Sub standard academics. Haves and Have NOT culture. No social and cultural inclusion. If you love your child MOVE. Dont send them here."
