What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, March 1, 2018

We've been very pleased with Greenfield. We moved to this neighborhood for the school. The Kindergarten classes were much larger than we expected, but by November, the principal had hired another teacher and divided the two classes into three to help reduce the teacher to student ratio.

There is good communication between the school and parents. Kids seem happy. There is less teacher turn over than other local public schools. Close Quote
