Summary

Greenwood High School is a grades 9–12 school in Bowling Green, Kentucky, with 1,451 students. Its strongest overall finding is that 2025–2026 results were above Kentucky’s in all six tested subjects, and Greenwood ranked second among five nearby comprehensive high schools in five of them.

Greenwood is especially strong locally in math and editing and mechanics: 52% of grade 10 students were proficient in math, about 11 points above the average for four nearby high schools, and 49% of grade 11 students were proficient in editing and mechanics, about 10 points above that average. It ranked second locally in each subject.

Open Quote This upcoming school year (19/20) will be our son’s fourth and final year at Greenwood. He’s been happy there which has contributed greatly to his studying habits and good grades. My husband and I have been very pleased and expect the same for this coming year. We highly recommend living in Greenwood’s district! Close Quote
