Greenfield High School

Posted April 7, 2009

Wow, sour grapes or what? I have had three children attend here, with two of them graduating from the high school before we moved. The two graduates both achieved honors in athletics as well as academics. Both received acadamic scholarships in college and now have masters degrees. You are what you make it. If you are a negative person, you most likely will fail where ever you go. This shool has some great teachers, good adminstrators, and a good school board whom all care for their students. Most failures here are because of their parents. Good community. A little too rural for some, with I admit, little diversity. But Springfield is not far for more culture, with Stockton Lake almost next door for outside activity. You will like it.

This is not a good school. Teachers taught material that I would later learn to be incorrect. There are very few clubs to join and even if you do join them, they don't have a lot of activities. The vast majority of students smoke and drug use is rampant in this town. There are also very few extracurricular classes, basically the bear minimum. Funding is cheap and shortcuts are often taken, especially in classes like art and at one point the roof was falling in. There is little diversity among students. There are no AP classes although there is are two dual credit English classes that can be taken for a fee. There is no ACT prep; This school does not prepare students for college or the real world but rather hinders them. Do not have your child attend this unless you are satisfied with bare minimum.

I attended GHS for 13 years. Overall, there are a few gems in the teaching staff, crowded by multitudes of duds. The sports program is highly supported and highly overrated. The other programs ( Music, FCCLA, FBLA, etc.) are wonderful and strong but in this small town rarely get the recognition they deserve. The drug problem is continuing to grow and get out of hand- many students, athletes included, abuse substances of some kind. Discipline depends largely on which last name you have and if you are valuable to the sports programs. The town itself is small and close-knit. The parents are very involved, which is good, but once again, many seem to turn blind eyes to certain activities. Average students will benefit best from this school- accelerated or challenged students will hurt from this school's mediocre instruction.

This school is excelent in many ways. Sports #1 here. We are best in district. Everyone here participates in at least 1 sport. The teachers are nice, funny, and accually give you knowledge. They tell you things that aren't in the book. My 7th grade teacher, Mr. Burton does just that. He is well-taught and he teaches very well. He tells us things that... well you don't hear very often. This is a school that if you do not want to go to a big school, but want a little school fascinated with sports. This is the perfect school for you.
