Summary

Robert B Glenn High School is a public high school located in Kernersville, North Carolina, serving 1,467 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district, which is ranked 159 out of 242 districts in the state.

Despite the school's efforts, Robert B Glenn High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools over the past several years, with a statewide ranking that has declined from 296 in 2016-2017 to 598 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams is significantly below the district and state averages across all subject areas. However, the school's four-year graduation rate has been steadily improving, from 74.8% in 2020-2021 to 87.7% in 2024-2025, though it still lags behind the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy and Southwest Guilford High, Robert B Glenn High School faces unique challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (99.8%) and lower per-student spending ($8,839) compared to the district average. These factors may contribute to the school's academic performance, which lags behind other schools in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district and the state.
