Very low quality. Transfered out of this district as soon as possible. Very small school, with not a lot of opportunites. Education and academics are okay, but instructors and teachers not exactly the best. The administration is very unprofessional on numerous occasions. Look into this school carefully before attending.

I grew up in this school district and I am proud of it. It is safe, very few drugs. Very few problems and I feel like it made me a GREAT person. Greenon High School is NOT a rich community but it is rich with morals, and personality. Most the kids that come out of this school are great people. They build strong families and they all have life long friends. The school it's self could use a face lift yes. The school could use some more funding and a few teachers need to retire. The school in general though is wonderful. Safe. Wholesome and a great place for learning with little to no discipline issues. I am REALLY GLAD that my parents, Myself and my children will attend this school.

I am a GHS graduate and I cannot sing the praises of the school enough. It was a great place to spend 4 years. The teachers were fantastic and very helpful. When I have kids, I will move back to Enon so my kids can attend Greenon Local. As far as students being ready for college...you get out of your classes what you put into them. If a student really wants to do well in their classes at GHS or any school for that matter, they have to put the effort in. I was lax in my math and science classes but because of the notes I still have from my classes there, I have been able to do well at the college level. Great schools. Great environment. Great student support.

i think that greenon is sometimes overrated compared to other county schools. the building is practically falling down and the students aren't generally prepared for college courses. especially in the math and science areas

I can't say enough about Greenon schools! Though not a 'Rich' district, Greenon allows our children to have the very best in education, and continues to have a vast selection of sports opportunities as well as a great FFA program. As a parent I have seen my kids learning so much more than a city type public school could ever provide. Thanks to all Staff and Parents that continue to support the Best School in Clark County!

This is easily one of the top 2-3 schools in the Springfield area. Good administration, good teacher, and overall, good student population. You can send your kids here with no reservations.

I have a student at GHS and one that will enter next year and I could not be more pleased. After my 1st open house at Greenon, I was so excited I wanted to go back to high school myself! The teachers are so excited to teach and caring. The principal is top notch, knows the names of the students and truly seems to care and want to help them. I was amazed and pleased and feel so fortunate to have my children in a place where the students and the parents are so valued. Thank you, thank you Mr. McClure and your excellent teaching staff! My kids are excited about school again!

I transferred this year from a notable private school and like most of the students there, thought I was enjoying it. It seemed to have the average environment of what people think of as high school. When I switched to Greenon I was surprised by how much I was missing out on! The teachers here are very friendly and provide an active learning experience that leaves you with more than one would expect from a public school. Another thing that I noticed when I started here, I didn't feel like an outcast. It seems that everyone has a place here. To conclude, I am very happy that I switched and could not ask for a better school.

This is a small school with limited course offerings, but what it lacks in variety, it makes up with caring, helpful teachers. A basic selection of extracurricular activities is available.

My sister & I were both attendants at this school and were very pleased with the education we recieved. Not only did we learn a lot from this school district from the schools curriculum but we also learned life skills. The staff, (principal- teachers, etc.) was better than we could have ever asked for. I would say they were like parents. The teachers take time to know the students, & use that in their method of teaching. I would have to say there is no better school district around. The best part of Greenon Local is that even though you have graduated the teachers still keep in touch to see how you are doing in 'real life'. When I started college classes I was having trouble in a college algebra class & ran into a techer I had in high school. I told that person what was happening & they offered to tudor me through it. Talk about dedication.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Ohio used the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) to test students in grade 10 in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. State averages displayed on public school profiles include public schools only. State averages displayed on private school profiles include private schools only. The OGT is a high school graduation requirement for public schools and chartered private schools. The OGT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Ohio. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.

About the tests


Ohio uses the Performance Index to provide an overall indication of how well students perform on its standardized tests each year. The Performance Index scores are based upon how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and 10. Schools and districts earn anywhere from 1.2 points for each student scoring at the advanced level to zero points for each untested student. The Performance Index ranges between 0 and 120, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.

No Value-Added data was reported for this school.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Ohio Department of Education used the Value-Added Measure to show how much growth students made on the Ohio Achievement Test since the last school year. The state expects that student test scores will show an average year's worth of growth compared to test scores from the previous year. Ohio's Value-Added Measure is not the same as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a federal measure which uses different criteria.
