The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

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.

I overall had a good high school experience here. It was always a safe environment, I felt that the teachers really cared for their students and did their best to help them to succeed. Some of the things I did not like was the advisors, they were unhelpful and sometimes rude. I would like to see there be better advisors, and more clubs for students.

I enjoyed my time at Greendale High and had a great group of friends and we all pushed each other to do better in school, get involved, and much more. Being involved in Marching Band was the best thing that I could have done and it is one of the only positive memories that i took away from GHS. They are developing a hostile environment regarding diversity/race in recent years and none of the administration is doing much about it. I get that they want to play it safe and not get involved, but it is making them look bad. Overall GHS is an okay school.
