My older son went to Greco and loved it. He had great teachers and was very well prepared for high school. My two youngest are currently attending Greco. All of the teachers are 100% invested in their students and they are enjoying the IB program that is new to the school!

My son actually learned how to fight from going to Greco and having to defend himself. Horrific school, I promise you! And, no one calls you to let you know that there has been a fight either. The only good thing was being in the stem program. It made my life miserable for the entire year that he went there. I was upset and worried every day my son went to school, which was barely, do to hating the school.

I'm a student their and I like being in the S.T.E.M Academy but outside of that are rude students who pick on me and my friends all the time, they throw food at us at lunch, they always push us in the hallways, and they don't like seeing it from our perspective.

This school is horrible they defend the bullies and punish the victims. When you report your problems and concerns they assure you they'll take care of it but never do. The staff has very nasty attitudes they speak to the children/parents in a disrespectful way. Staff watch the children fight once the fights start, they break it up and children get suspended when it could've been avoided. No compassion at all at this school.

This school is terrible! There is a fight at least once a week. Several students have already been arrested this year for fighting. Bullying is out of control, and the bullies get away with it. If your child attends this school, ask them what kind of music is being played during p.e. And lunch. Explicit lyrics that aren't even played on the radio! These kids are completely out of control, and nothing is being done about it! I've watched several kids being pushed to the ground just trying to get to their bus at dismissal. Where is the supervision at this school? I'm researching options on getting my kids as far away from Greco as I can!

Do not send your children here. This is a horrible place and staff here is very Ghetto. seems like they were all raised in the streets.making the kids think it is acceptable to behave like animals..if the teachers and office does it then what would they believe.this is not the way adults should act and people should keep their kids away from here. ZERO STAR should be available.

Greco Middle School is the worst school ever! My children are currently students there (grades 6&7)..I don't know how any child can focus on learning when there is constant fighting, bullying and other disruptions! I am in the process of removing them from that school as I type this review DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD(REN) TO GRECO MIDDLE SCHOOL!

I was notified by a Hillsborough County Police Officer to remove my child from this school. The "bad element" is so strong that it permeates the positive individuals in the school. So I was told and have sadly experienced first hand. Teachers care about grades only because they reflect on their job performance. They do just enough to follow the golden rule of CYA. Teachers and Faculty, for the most part, do not exhibit the simple courtesies SHOULD BE required of the students. Approriate speach, dress and ettiquette are lost in that facility; therefore, the students aren't any better than their example. If you are not concerned with the element in which your child attends school - enjoy. Otherwise, if your child is always flashing their underwear, speaking street slang, disrespecting others, "trash talkin", cursing, degrading other students or simply looking like they just walked in off a street corner... then your child will fit right in - since nobody there seems to mind, and nobody will lift a finger to make a change no matter how many times, or how loudly you ask. Just stay away.

This school is the worst school in Hillsborough county. The teachers dont want the students to suceed. I withdrew my student and i suggest you do the same. Everyday there is a fight at this school. There was one teacher that wouldnt give my child make up work after she was out sick and had an written dr. excuse. The teacher said she should have been in school and refused o give it to her. I went to DR. Binder and he did nothing. Just said he would take care of it.

The group of dedicated teachers and supportive administration is superior. The challenging academic programs offered at Greco cater to each student's needs. The involvment of the faculty at Greco is creating incredible citizens and leaders of our community. The students love their school and really feel like a family. The attractor academies within the school create a supportive and rigorous curriculum for students through an awkward stage in their development. The team work and balance of the teachers enable the students to thrive in a positive learning environment without burning them out for their future academic path.
