What people are saying
by a parent
Friday, June 20, 2014

Open Quote We looked at all our options before sending our child to Greenfield. I wouldn't send him anywhere else. This school has the best elementary school principal in the city. He knows each child by name and knows each child's personality. He is amazing. The 4th grade teachers did great by my kid this year. Lots of trips, reading The Odyssey, science fair, and more. Its an extremely diverse school. There are great families of all income levels, who are super active. The funding issues have really hurt all the schools, but because the parents are so active, they refused to allow programs to be cut by helping take up the slack, raising money and buying staff. Why only 4 stars?: Its not perfect, but they are working on it. Some problems are district wide issues. With that said, we think Greenfield is a great school! Close Quote

Open Quote This is a wonderful school with heavy parent participation, good teachers and hard working principal.

Our child started 1st grade in a "Mainline" public school and we can honestly say her second grade experience was much better at Greenfield. Her Greenfield teacher taught to each child's abilities. This is unlike her Mainline teacher who did not.

We are looking forward to our second child starting kindergarten at Greenfield. Close Quote
