ok so i went here from k-4 and then i transfered to Masterman. I did not transfer because of greenfield i transfered because greenfield applied me for a greater school so i could grow. They really car what happens to you in life. The staff is great. I am now in 7th grade and i do not currently know the status but from what i am hearing it is doing fine!!

My child is in her second year at Greenfield and I feel that the parent involvement is excellent. I am a teacher in another school district and I wish the parents were as involved in what was going on at my school as they are at Greenfield. The principal is caring and personable. Some of the teachers are new and need more training but overall my daughter has made many friends and is learning how to be part of a community.

I just took my child out of Greenfield. Yes it is considered one of Philadelphia's best school but if you compare the scores to the rest of the State it falls in the bottom 15%. It does not matter how hard or how good th school's leadership is if you do not have the funds or you are forced to keep teachers on who do not care then it drags the entire school down. When children in Greenfield reach the 5th grade many of them leave to go to private school or are lucky enough to be accepted to Masterman (a very good school) this creates a 'brain drain' to Greenfield and places students who do not do so well in grades 5-8 that hurt the school a lot.

I love Greenfield School because it has a new, progressive-thinking principal who seems open to new ideas and implementing strategies to improve the school. His approachable, respectful manner towards parents and students sets the tone for the same from his staff and visitors to the school. It's green and it's great! Go Greenfield!!!

This year is my daughter's third year at Greenfield. We have been very happy so far. The teachers are excellent. The parents are very involved. I think Greenfield is a really good school. The only critic is the administration that lacks of profesionalism

While attending Greenfield, I enjoyed myself and am very proud to say that I am a Greenfield graduate. Throughout my years of attending, my teachers were caring,understanding and interested in our well being. Going to Greenfield gives any attendee a standard to live up to. I loved going into a diverse classroom everyday, and being able to participate in a great learning environment. I felt like Greenfield was a family to me, a second home.Greenfield gave me the tools that I needed for high school, as far as academic, social, and individual.

My daughter is in second grade now. She is really happy with her school. The teachers are great. The principal is great. The Home and School Association is very active and communicative. I agree that the office staff should be more friendly. And the location is very accessible

I was not satisfied as a Greenfield parent, so much so that we were going to send our child to private school if we hadn't decided to move this year. Teaching was variable - a few great teachers, but many who were near retirement and disengaged, cynical and unenthusiastic. Our child bore the brunt of that. Perhaps the new principal this year will helpl
