Amazing school, I have three kids here and we love it. Kids are happy, learning, great teachers and attentive principal. PTA makes the school culture inclusive and kids feel loved.

Excellent teachers, staff and Principal. Our two daughters have thus far performed great academically and socially here, and feel that the school truly cares about the success of our kids and takes a thoughtful and empathetic approach to decision making

Great school and has the highest rating out of all Millbrae elementary schools. The Principal is great and he knows every kid by name. Cannot ask for a better school for my kids!

This is truly a great school. My kids have had nothing but excellent teachers. Principal is very approachable and my kids love him. PTA is the best. I literally donate once and then I am never asked for ANYTHING else for the rest of the year. Everything from field trips to school supplies is covered. I don’t even have to go back to school shopping because there aren’t any supply lists. Where else does this happen?! Students are nice and respectful.

Far above what I would consider to be average

Overall Green Hills is a good school. Despite the large class sizes, the teachers' experience and care made it work somehow. Don't expect much individual attentions due to class size (sometime split classes where two grades are combined into one). Some teachers are amazing in effectively reaching the students, while a few are less so in inspiring learning. You could kind of tell most teachers are stretched because many don't respond to emails, or take time to update class progress. The leadership of school definitely needs improvement though, from lack of communication to lack of vision and responses. Overall, the teachers' quality kept the school in good standing.

Great & responsible teachers. Kids are well respected.

Disappointed by last minute changes and reallocating students to other schools that too after the student has started going to school and got familiarized with the teacher and classmates... This basically indicates lacks of leadership and questionable integrity to the process of student allotment to school ..
