Glenbard East High School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Illinois high schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 203 out of 698 schools. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the ACT, PreACT Secure, and SAT, is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some notable exceptions. For example, in ACT/English Language Arts, Glenbard East's 11th-grade students scored 47.3% proficient or better, compared to the district's 59.5% and the state's 51.7%. However, the school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) is stronger, with 55% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the district's 62.1% and the state's 53.2%.

Glenbard East High School has maintained a consistent four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.7% to 91.9% over the past few years, which is on par with the district and state averages. The school's dropout rate has also remained relatively low, ranging from 0.7% to 2.7% over the same period. Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Wheaton North High School and York Community High School, Glenbard East's academic performance is lower, particularly in mathematics and science. This suggests that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation to address these areas of relative underperformance and learn from the best practices of its higher-performing neighboring schools.

My daughter loves the school, her teachers and the orchestra. She doesn’t even want to move to another school. The presence of the smart kids challenge her. Their freshman and sophomore teams just won first place in the 2018 ICTM so they will be competing in the state competition. They also won first place in the individual tying with IMSA. This school is really showing good performance lately so we are very happy. Close Quote
