GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 love that Greenfield School has diverse classes and many different levels of classes so you can be challenged if you want. I wouldn't say I like how some of the teachers are stuck in their ways of teaching because that isn't always the best way for students to learn. There is also a counselor that doesn't seem to know what she is doing and constantly messes up students' schedules, doesn't solve students' problems, and isn't helpful.

GCHS was a great place to learn and participate in extracurriculars. Although the course selection can be limiting, I was happy with the opportunities that I could take advantage of.

Greenfield's school system overall has been great for me. Although many things could be improved, such as racial diversity and how the school approaches these issues, I firmly believe that the school has lots of room to grow and is slowly doing so.

GCHS is a terrific school! I put three kids through there and nothing but positive experiences. I have watched my peers struggle with the private school decision for high school, especially with their kids coming out of private elementary schools, but we had no such concern with GCHS. First class te...

My three kids graduated from 2006-2012. They received an excellent education and have graduated and excelled at Purdue and Ball State. GCHS helped them build a terrific foundation, with a small-town feel, ethics and sensibility, but with a first-class academic resume. I have watch their friends grad...
