Greathouse Shryock Traditional Elementary School

Posted October 10, 2009

I feel that Greathouse is like a military school. Way too disciplined and structured. Learning here is about sitting at a desk and writing. Very little hands on learing. They don't make learning fun for the kids. The school also focuses on what the children do wrong, not on how they can improve.

Greathouse prides themself on test scores, but where they lack is in helping the children that need a little extra attention to achieve. Their extremely strict rules and guidelines are not suitable for all children. If your child falls behind, they may have trouble catching back up. i felt that my child did not recieve enough individual attention to fully get ahead and learn. As she fell behind, she was teased by the other children. It was very difficult for her to make friends and to feel welcome. She grew to hate school and had to transfer.

I felt this school is unable to handle the needs of children with disabilities. Their overly strict structure does not lead to condusive learning for all types of children. My child did not get the hands on attention he needed to strive. After transfering schools, his grades improved and is now an honor roll student. He no longer cries when it is time to go to school.

My daughter goes to Greathouse for two years and we have to leave the school because we moved. Its a fantastic school, rigid but necessary as kids need the dicipline in order to advance. But my daughter still have fun at the school and she is very sad that she has to go to a new school. Also, the teachers are caring and they are willing to work with the kids that need help if the parents are committed it.
