Not recommend what so ever. The school is unorganized and students that go there get bullied or are bullies.

This school is very efficent and has molded kids from being bad to the most perfect angles, they do what ever they can to add comftorbility to the students and have a great new reward system to reward great behavio. The new principales always get along great with all the kids and also they have great groups of athletic kids from soccer to basketbal. I really recremend that you choose this school as the right school for your kids to attend and if you look at the date on most of the other comments they are from years ago but they really have stepped up there game keep up the good work.

Ive heard that this school is full of bullies and to not put my child there. I didn't believe it. At the time I thought people experience was different. My son only lasted about two wks there. My son was bullied and the AP at the time was a 25 year (what a joke ) who didn't know how to handle situation except to put blame on my son who was being bullied. Pulled him out of there less than two wks into school and now he is thriving at another school. Best decision I've ever made.

I have just spend five minutes reading Greenfield's reviews and I could not believe what I was reading. I can't believe that I just read such negative reviews about the same school that my son has just attended for the past school year. Well, I disagree with most of these reviews. My son attended honor classes and honors or not, all his teachers were GREAT! He also attended drum line as an after school activity, he really enjoyed every moment of it. When it comes to the bullying, well yes, we also had a little of that too. An e-mail to the principal is all it took, the problem was solved before my son got home the following day. I do believe Greenfield is a GREAT school, however, it does depend on your experience and point of view. Based on our point-of-view, we give this school a 5-star rating. In my point-of-view, parent attendance for back to school night and performances that I attended for band and drum line, I think that it was high.

I am currently a student here at GMS and I am fed up with the fact that since my 6th grade year they have been doing construction and they were supposed to be done by now. Because of construction we have no auditorium, eat pizza every single day, and eat lunch in the hallways. The counselor is very one sided and I got in trouble when the person telling on me had done horrible things and she got no discipline. There are some teachers who are great at what they do but there are some who need some advice on how to do their job. I think the principle is great. I just hate the problems that come w/ construction that is taking too long. Other schools have done construction get done faster and I don't understand why it's taking to long.

This school is TERRIBLE!! RUN!! My son was bullied so badly. I brought it to the attention of the AP and the Guidance Councelor over and over again and they did nothing!! There were a lot of fights there. My son was assaulted in class and the teacher didn't even see it. He was also taunted at lunch time and again, no adult saw that either. I had to move him out. I asked to talk to the Principle many times and was told, "He does not handle this kind of stuff." My son went from an honor student in elementary school to having some grades drop due to excessive bullying at this school. One of the teachers told me it's the most disrespectful and dirty school he has ever worked at! He could not be more right!! GMS is being run very poorly! I wouldn't send my dog there.
