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.

Many of the teachers in the English and math departments are fantastic teachers, and often have been in their position for years. However, some teachers suffer the issue of not connecting with the students or explaining each element of their subject thoroughly enough. Some teachers simply pile on work while explaining the subject minimally.

Socially, Greenland students tend to know everybody, and bullying generally isn't a problem. Greenland is known for its acceptance of LGBTQ students. Most of the student body comes from a similar background, but when one who is part of minority joins the school, the students are quick to accept them and allow them to join their group. The exception is the occasional conflict of ideas, and students are quick to resolve such an issue

We have since moved to another state. Our average student was encouraged and now maintains all A's & GT & high standardized sco...

No diversity, quality of education is low but expected based on its location and demographics. Wish I lived closer to the bigger schools.

It's a sorry excuse for a school. No diversity and barely any AP classes offered. It's a pathetic school that should have been closed down years ago. Seriously, what school encourages a student with good grades and a good ACT score to go to a community college over the state's university that is bas...
