We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Greely was a good school district and prepared me very well for college, however there was a rigidness and a lack of willingness to create meaningful and necessary change from administration.

I think Greely is a great school that prepares its students to go to college. There are many opportunities for students like doing student-lead independent opportunities (SILOS) as a class. The teachers here are very understanding and encourage students to think beyond. Depending on your classes, the homework load can be a lot at times.

The education is decent, but the administration is terrible and it's an extremely toxic environment.

I graduated from Greely last year. For me, there were a lot of positives, but also a few negatives. The administration here has done some immensely silly things, and the head of the board needs a change of faces. There are some great facilities here, and the level of academic rigor is fairly unparal...
