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.

Greene County High School is a smaller school district which makes it easier to have one on one time with teachers if needed.

Greene County High School is overall a good school. They provide a good amount of college classes through online community colleges for students to take if interested. Some AP courses are taught at the school such as AP Calculus. Other AP courses are strictly taught online which can be very difficult for some students to pass the high level classes without a traditional teacher in the classroom teaching them. The faculty is caring and mostly puts the students' needs in front of their own.

As the schools from surrounding towns consolidated to form the Greene County Community School District, I still see...
