10/10. My son loves learning and is so so smart because of this school!

I have never experienced a school that conducted themselves so poorly. You would think with all the poor ratings and test scores over the years a change would be implemented but instead they decide to take homework away from already struggling students who may need that extra work/help and allow kids to just keep going to the next grade even if they are failing the previous one. The only positive aspect of this school are the free lunches...too bad that money can’t be used to assist academically in some way. My child will not be attending next year. In fact, we will be driving both our children pretty far out of the way to a different school even though Greenburst is in our subdivision. Worst school ever.

Great school! When my student needed help everyone was ready to help! They made his transition back into the classroom easy and supportive. They also where there for me if I needed support emotionally. Love it!!!

Absolutely the worst school I have ever had to experience. The staff is impolite the principal is not involved and the kids there are a bunch of mean aweful kids. There is extremely poor communication home to the parent and you only hear from them when it involves them wanting money for the school. I have never been physically sick by how terrible a school conducts themselves and here its been more than once. My children will not be going to this school anymore, and neither should yours!

I would not recommend this school to anyone. The teachers the staff all need help. My child was out of there within a week. There are much better schools in the area look around.

We have had nothing but problems with this school. There is a new principal and he doesn't know how to run the school. There is zero communication. They expect you to know all of the quirks, odd hours ect. We have told the school several times that we are new this year and they lack communication. There are no emails from the school stating early pick up hours on Wednesdays, Where to pick your child up after the preschool busses load, IN THE PARENT PICK UP AREA. All of that should have been established before school started. My 5 year old told me that his music teacher grabbed his hand and put him in time out in front of the class because he didn't say he was " Here. " Mind you school has been in session for a few weeks and my K son goes to school every other day. HOW are children suppose to know the rules if they are at school every other day and have maybe been in music class 3 times. She had no right to touch my child. My 1st grader told me she puts kids in timeout in his music class too. We are moving back to our sons school from last year because we never had issues there. This school is now a safety issue for our family.
