Glen Burnie High School, Glen Burnie | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I attended GBHS (class of 06′), and all bias aside from personal experiences, from the very bottom of my heart (if that abhorrent place is still even a fraction of the disaster it was within the time myself and my peers attended) I truly urge parents of young individuals being placed into a new High Schools from middle school to (for the love of God, and obviously your child as well) at least explore alternatives. If you’re unable to find a cost-effective alternative to this school and your child is planning on (or has already been) attending, keep a very close eye on what goes on behind those closed doors. (Personally, from everything I wish I had been able to report while there as an adolescent and young adult, I’d certainly have my child keep a small recorder (cell phone, anything that records audio and preferentially video if needed) in their pocket at all times, and each time something is said or done to your child or to their peers that should never be said or done to another human being, especially in this environment would no longer be behind “closed doors”, not in the same sense anyway). Please at least consider my advice parents, there’s a reason that entire place is now surrounded by black steel bars, and trust me, it is NOT to keep wondering creepy people out, it’s simply a terrible way of keeping children in. ( inside of a campus surrounded by Steel bars which could easily impel your child in ANY emergency escape situation). There were quite a few times our entire school had to very literally run to the football field for safety (everything from fires to bomb threats) and made it there safely without that spiked cage surrounding us, but my senior year was like opposite land, the ONE emergency I did have happened to end with me (and oh so many others) running for our cars and busses, and no one (that I was able to see across the open courtyard) came close to escaping, most got trapped inside of the buildings which bypass the gates outside. …And when I went to escape through the ONE SAFE BILLING left that hadn’t been packed completely full of frightened kids (yet), the gigantic fat idiot of a principal blocked me and many others intentionally saying “nooooope”. …To which I replied “you sure?” with an adrenaline fuelled punch to the gut, which knocked our not so beloved ‘or in any way at all intelligent’ “big man” across the hallway and into the other pile of kids who were also trying like hell to escape. (This was the beginning of my “just go ahead and grab my GED then immediately off to college” journey, (obviously, my alternative was being sued or something over a fat man blocking an emergency doorway), this was also the moment I realized exactly how right my peers and I were at the time, about how terrible and dangerous our school had become)… I don’t regret punching his fat ass, but i do regret having to in order to get past him, (him, the one man responsible for making sure the very thing he was doing was never done to any of us). …Not to mention the only reason we even got that principal was because our last one was caught having an affair with our least favorite administrator. …So yeah, this really hasn’t been a place for young people for a while now, (like, since.. I’m not sure, perhaps just before the race riots that blew through that school a couple decades ago?)…
~ Terribly Dangerous School ~

Just an average High School. I find it very sad that my child can not even use the rest room beause they are either locked, destroyed, or kids are smoking pot in them. They are not monitored at all. The kids that want to go to school and get an education are the ones that suffer because the idiots that could care less ruin it for everyone else and are allow to gwt aeay with everything.

If you can afford to live in another district do it. Don’t get me wrong there are many well behaved teenagers that are going here but there are enough of the bad ones here to make it a place you don’t want your kids to go to. As long as society keeps the power of discipline from the teachers it will only get worse.
