My daughter is currently in Kindergarten at Greenbrier Elementary. Her teacher has been absolutely amazing. She's very organized and communicates daily (through her communicator folder), and goes above and beyond to plan interesting activities and lessons. I love the atmosphere at GES as well. When you walk in the door it feels very homey. You can often see parents in the building volunteering or eating lunch with their kids-- I do think most parents feel very comfortable in this school. Overall, GES is a really good school, and I'm thankful my daughter is able to go to school there.

My daughter attended this school for K-1 and we finally put her in private school until we can get out of this school zone. The office staff is rude and makes you feel like you are bothering them if you come in for something. They have a new principal now so she may be better but the old one was terrible. The teachers my daughter had were unorganized and did not communicate with me about anything.

My child was in 2nd grade at ges and it was the worst year of school he has ever had. He was always asking me why his teacher didn't like him, why his teacher let kids in his class bully him and beat him up and every time I had ever seen his teacher talk to any of the students she would alway be little them. I had went to have lunch with my child a sometimes and every time I saw a teacher they we're being so rude to the kids. One time I walked into to have lunch and a fellow classmate of my child's was cry horribly because his teacher was yelling at her. Not to mention every single time I went to go have lunch with my child the staff treats you like you are bothering them when you sign in. My child was bullied everyday, when I talked to the teacher she said it was my sons fault. When I had tried to talk to the principle they always direct you to the vice principle. And even that was no good. my nephew also attended this school or kindergarten and he has special needs, when my sister and I went to the school to talk about why he was not changing his pull-up during the day then nurse told my sister and myself that its just like a 5 year old that needs medicine, if they don't take responsabilty themselves for it then that's on them. After my sister talked to the vice priciple then my nephew was finally able to get a pull-up from the nurse but then made to change it I front of his classmates. He was called a baby, told he wore diapers and a whole bunch of other things. He was also being beat up at recess for it. When my sister tried to handle it she got the run around. My nephew now has problems about him having to wear a pull-up because he feels ashamed for his bladder exstrophy in which he was born with. This school is the WORST school. The schools in greenbrier are very bad with bullying. The middle school I was told from my child's counselor that he started seeing that the schools here have the highest amount of children in therapy because of bullying. Never would I recommend this school to anyone!!!

I absolutely love this school. My parents moved our family here when I was in high school. I always dreamed of going back "home", but the teachers at this school truly are amazing. My son is now in third grade and absolutely loves his teacher. He has loved every teacher he has had so far. Greenbrier is an amazing school and I thank heaven every day that this new zoning plan does not effect him. The staff here is wonderful. I don't think I could find a better school for my children.

Greenbrier Elementary is a good school. Leadership is kind, fair and addresses issues in the best interest of students. Teachers work well together in grade level teams to insure best teaching methods are applied and student growth is the goal. The PTO is strong and present; monthly meetings are held. There are a few clubs including Jr. Honors and many ways to get involved. AR is addressed well and reading is important school-wide. Communication between school and home is another strong point. The school is fresh and clean (expect the boys restrooms). Parents feel welcomed.

My children came from another district which is considered elite in middle Tennessee. That was wrong! They are learning so much more at GES and they love their teachers. They are having to adjust to the course work but the teachers are so readily available to help. The communication has been outstanding.

We had an awesome Kindergarten Teacher and a wonderful experience there last year. I just wish we were able to stay in their district.

This school is very welcoming to parents. We were new to the school last year . I asked the office staff what, if any, volunteer jobs i could do. I was given plenty to do! I always feel welcome there. I did not like not being able to drop my child off at her classroom, but I also understand, there is no way that the number of parents at he school could park and go inside the school. With over 800 students, there simply is no space. I would ay to those who complain about no parental involvement, just ask. The teachers have all been very communicative and interested in my child's adjustment to a new school. .
