From the day it first opened its doors in 1961, Glendowie College has had the advantage of being a relatively small school in comparison with the many other Auckland state co-educational secondary schools.

This continues to be reflected in the close relationships between staff, students, parents and community, all working collaboratively towards common goals.

The NZ Herald publication The Aucklander recently wrote :
"If you’re looking for a school that excels in all areas, Glendowie College has got it covered. For a school considered relatively small, Glendowie College has attained many honours, achieving highly academically, sportingly and culturally across regional and national levels."

The most recent Education Review Office Report (May 2008) stated “Glendowie College is a co-educational secondary school that continues to provide high quality education for its students. The board, principal and staff demonstrate a strong commitment to ongoing school improvement. The 2005 ERO report acknowledged the good support students received to achieve academically as well as in sporting, cultural and service activities. This support is still clearly evident.

Students take pride in their school and are motivated to achieve. The large majority make very good progress during their time at the school. Success rates in national qualifications have continued to improve since the 2005 ERO report, exceeding national averages and generally aligning well with student attainment levels in schools of a similar type and decile rating.”
