Greenfield Middle School

This school is TERRIBLE!! RUN!! My son was bullied so badly. I brought it to the attention of the AP and the Guidance Councelor over and over again and they did nothing!! There were a lot of fights there. My son was assaulted in class and the teacher didn't even see it. He was also taunted at lunch time and again, no adult saw that either. I had to move him out. I asked to talk to the Principle many times and was told, "He does not handle this kind of stuff." My son went from an honor student in elementary school to having some grades drop due to excessive bullying at this school. One of the teachers told me it's the most disrespectful and dirty school he has ever worked at! He could not be more right!! GMS is being run very poorly! I wouldn't send my dog there.

Greenfield Middle School has been great and I love the administration. My son attends GMS and he is not perfect by any means. However, the AP has worked with me to find ways to help my son be successful. He has always been positive. Whoever wrote the comment about Mr. Clapsaddle must be in denial of the real problem.....

I think this is a great school for those who have perfect behavior. I have a serious issues with the AP. I am certain he uses his position as power and goes way beyond the call of duty. This could change a child's life. I think his personal opinions and values effects his job. Teenagers are far from perfect, and he is always shocked by the normal behaviors of Some teenagers. Personal opinions should not get in the way of any job.

Teachers are so supportive of the students! They want to teach in a way that's new for the kids. I recommend your child going to this school. It's even a bigger plus if your child enjoys after school programs and a big variety of foods at lunch/breakfast.

The teachers and staff are wonderful. Mr Villanueva is doing a wonderful job with the kids. And to me, Mrs Knoernschild is the best music teacher in all of East County.

Overall this school is great! If Anytime my daughter had a problem they were very responsive and always worked it out. Most of the teachers are really good my daughters grades improved dramaticly since the sixth grade. She brought her grade piont average up at to a B from a D. There are a few teachers I didnt care for at all> I didnt agree with their teaching methods.

Academically it is satifactory. Needs more art and music organizations. Sports is also unsatifactory. Teachers are great though, I attended with my brother and really enjoyed my experiences, only advice is to influence children to be involved in as much extracurricular activties as possible while still attaining good standing in academics.

This school could use alot of help in all areas. Parent involvement is virtually non existent. Teachers for the most part are unwillingly to go the extra mile.
