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.

The Greenwood High School administration is corrupt, and the only thing that the athletic directors (yes, more than one) care about is football. Our teachers are very interested in our wellbeing, but they don't get paid very well.

The best part about being a senior at Greenwood High School is the involvement that we have with each other and the times we can bond as a school. In my experience, I haven't had a bad time at greenwood high school, but something I would like to see change is the involvement that the seniors have and more fun activities for them to do.

I have been going to Greenwood schools since kindergarten. I have met built many amazing relationships with almost all of my teachers and principals. Greenwood has some of the best education in Arkansas and if I had to choose to go to high-school again I would definitely pick greenwood highschool over others. Only downside to going to GHS is the bullying policy is a little weak a lot of the time nothing happens unless it gets physical or if there is a threat to get physical. Other than that GHS is an excellent school especially if you are interested in sports or high academic accomplishments.

The teachers can give you almost any information you need. The principal constantly shows outstanding leadership. We also offer a variety of advance placement programs that are very challenging.
