Bush Hills Academy (formerly Charles B. Glenn Vocational High School and Charles B. Glenn Middle School is a K-8 school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 901 16th Street West in the Bush Hills neighborhood of Ensley.
The original school was constructed as a vocational school for African-American students in 1952. It was named for Charles Glenn, superintendent of Birmingham schools from 1921 to 1942. After the school system was integrated, Glenn served as a middle school.
Glenn Middle School was rebuilt as a K-8 school in 2010, taking in students from Wilson Elementary School. After construction was completed, the school was renamed. The new 73,840 square foot building was designed by Goodwyn, Mills & Cawood architects. It includes a 200-seat cafeteria, a competition gymnasium, and a separate playground and carpool pick-up area for younger students.
Construction of the new $16 million school building was delayed when McCrory Building Company defaulted on its contract. The Blalock Building Company was selected to complete the work.
Bush Hills Academy was designated a "failing school" in early 2016 because of students' relatively low scores in the reading and math portions of the ACT Aspire test. The school was taken off of the list of "failing schools" in 2017.
