Among more than 700 Illinois high schools, Glenbard West is ranked 27^th in Illinois; Glenbard South is ranked 78^th; Glenbard North is ranked 116^th and Glenbard East is ranked 150^th. Schools are ranked on their performance on state-required tests, graduation rate and how well they prepare students for college.

Superintendent David Larson said, “I am proud of our students and educators for their hard work, particularly throughout the pandemic. We encourage students to challenge themselves by taking rigorous courses. Among our goals is that seniors will pass one or more Advanced Placement exams and that juniors will enroll in Physics or higher science class and Algebra 2 with Trigonometry or higher math class. The critical thinking, communication and collaboration required in these classes prepare students for college, careers and life. Through our Profile of a Graduate, we empower our students to leave our schools as individuals who communicate, create, collaborate, think critically, embrace diversity and are self-empowered. These skills will prepare our graduates for infinite possibilities.”
