While the teachers are great, the principal of this school is very ineffective. He does not know how to run a school, and treats people not on his "list" like dirt. He needs to retire and make way for someone who knows how to be a leader, and will support all faculty and staff.

I have 2 sons in the district and another one starting soon. My oldest has high-functioning autism and ADHD. The district has been amazing with all of his needs and giving us plenty of services. Unlike other districts where you might have to hire a lawyer to get your child what they deserve, this was never the case in Greenburgh. I know other families who come from other districts and go to Greenburgh schools for their services. ALL the teachers care so much and go above and beyond. The school has really been on top of distance learning during the pandemic. Every student has their own school issued laptop. We moved from an apartment a few years ago to a house, but purposely stayed within the district to keep all the services and family atmosphere. The principals and superintendent know me by name and that is a big plus. I would definitely recommend it to others!

A+ is our experience in this school and school district. We are so confused by the low ratings online, they DO NOT reflect the reality and what this school system is really about. If you are looking for a diverse, open minded, caring and active school system, the Greenburgh School system is the right place for your child.

Extremely positive experience. Is everything perfect? Never. Not in any school. But there is concerted work at Highview to continually improve with the involvement of the community, families, and students themselves.

Overall, a great experience with our son at Highview. The additional clubs like Chess and Makerspace have really expanded his learning horizon and curiosity. Yesterday he brought home something he 3d printed. Next year, both our kids will be attending.

We put our kids into Greenburgh public schools despite hearing it wasn't the greatest. We're over the moon! The Superintendent is phenomenal! The principal is great. My children transitioned well, the staff and faculty are fantastic. The resources available are astounding: After school enrichment programs (STEAM, chess, Spanish, dance etc.), mandarin, etc. Beginning in the 2018/2019 school year, there will be an Advanced Learning Program (ALP). Challenging, innovative, well-rounded opportunities for all students! I can't say enough good things. I would encourage anyone who is on the fence or curious, to visit any of the school to hear and see for themselves!

Everything about Highview has been positive in my opinion. My second daughter is now attending Highview and is having a great year. The principal, Mr. Mastrangelo, is the cream of the crop. He is very caring and engaged and sets a very positive tone at the school. My daughter's teacher, Ms. Peterson, is great. The school is also blessed to have a fantastic music teacher, Mr. Roberts, that keeps the school lively and creative.

I am in love with this school!! My daughter is in second grade at Highview (Mrs. Taylor's class). She loves to go to school and is always ready to get on the bus. The teachers are all very attentive and the principal Mr. M is warm and funny. The atmosphere is loving and energetic. I am very happy with our experience in the Greenburgh school district (my daughter also attended Lee F Jackson). I could not be happier with what we have experienced!!
