The four-year high school had an enrollment of approximately 1,200 students in grades 9–12 in 2012.
Glen Este High School was accredited by the
Ohio Department of Education and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The school was also a member of the Ohio Association of College Admissions Counselors and the National Association of College Admissions Counselors. It was one of the few schools in Greater Cincinnati that operated its own radio station, solely run by the students.
