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.

The best parts of the school, like the athletics and academics, were exceptional. However, the worst parts of the school, such as the cleanliness of the student body, were very poor.

Greenwich High School has been like a second home to me over the past 3 years. I have met so many amazing people there and I couldn't see myself going to any other school. For my freshman year my mom and grandmother didn't know if I could handle such a big high school and offered me to option to transfer many times, but I refused vigorously everything. The school is great and the people you will meet are even better.

This school has no support for children who struggle. The school pass these kids through for good ratings. Poor preparation for college. Guidance counselor was unsupportive and not helpful. I do not recommend this school.

Great sports and arts help drive this amazing feeder school where kids get into (mostly) the colleges of their choice. State champs in Soccer and Football this year too. Good teachers and administrators who care.

Amazing high school experience!And a “feeder school” for the best colleges in this country and overseas! From the principal on down… Administrators and teachers are always willing to help and communicate. The school makes it easy to transition your child from middle school to college.The facilities,...

Surprisingly homophobic on pride month, multiple kids saying deplorable things and laughing. Would not recommend attending for any diversity reasons. Minus points for friend being pushed down a flight of stairs and not giving friends the accessibility they need to learn
