Worst school ever. Snobby is an understatement. Parents are the worst. Students are a close second. $$$$$$$$$$$ That is the mission statement of Greenhill.

GH school is not worth the tuition charged. On top of the tuition, parents are "encouraged" to donate and volunteer. The school seems to be sparsely staffed and relies heavily on parent volunteers. Watch out for the tennis moms who battle for grunt work positions in order to please the school and garner favor. While there are great teachers, many mediocre. A few are down right horrible, and the school does nothing about it. many of the kids need to be tutored and are pulled out from class during the school day by visiting tutors. The school's "creative" curriculum fails to teach basic concepts. Lots of children are put on ADD medication at an early age. There seems to be lots of behavior problems as well. While many are drawn by the diversity sell, it simply means is that there are lots of conflict. The school is made up of predominantly Jewish children, with some Hindu's, Asian's, Africans, and atheist to round out the supposedly diversity. On a positive note, the new website does look spiffy, and the campus is beautiful. The upkeep must be $$$$.

Greenhill is one of the best schools in town, my son has been there for 2 years and he is a student of color and we dont have as much money as most of the other families, he always feels welcomed the teachers, staff, parents and children are second to none!! Excellent place of learning.

Sent 3 "grands" 2 years, 3 years and 6 years. Great attention paid to each individual child. All 3 graduated with great insight into the world and communnity around them. Lots of attention paid to the individaul needs of each student. A very caring faculty and many ways to develope the whole person academically, physically and socially. A classic scholastic curriculum. One of the best schools I have ever been associated with.

This school is one of the best private schools in Dallas metroplex. My daughter has been going to Greenhill since Kindergarten. Quality of teaching is excellent along with the great infrastructure available for childrenj to flourish and realize their full potential.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
