I would not recommend putting any child in GreenView Knolls Elementary. It is one of the worst schools in the county that I have seen. Most of the teachers appear to only care about receiving a paycheck instead of teaching children.

Overall we are favorably impressed with this school. The academic programs and teacher involvement are good. It was a 'low performing school' in the past, but, has steadily improved each year. It now accepts other students from 'low performing' schools as part of the No Child Left Behind law. Some

This can be difficult though because parent involvement can be limited. The PTA is engaged with the school faculty. Read less

My daughter seems to enjoy GKES. It is a much better school than she was in before, but I'm not sure that it's a great school. The Art program could be better, and I am not sure how the standardized testing works here, I didn't get any information about them except make sure your child eats a good

My daughter had excelled here in the 1st and 2nd grades. My only problem is with the lack of programs for better readers.

I have a child who has and is attending this school currently. And if I had the personal funding to home school my child - I definitely would. GKES is one of the schools in St. Mary's County who has not met the proper standards. The Principal and Staff, along with the teachers have been of little assistance

This school leaves a lot to be deisred. Although the teachers I have dealt with seem to be most helpful the office staff lacks the impersonality to keep the circle going. School is not meeting the states testing requirements and has gone down hill on their overall State testing scores over the past
... Read more 5 years. They are in danger of losing their funding if they don't do something about it. Building is old, parking lot just redone, however money would have been better spent on the building or curriculum instead. Glad to be transferring out of the area soon. Would send my children to a private school in the future if we had to stay in the county. All schools here have poor ratings compared to other areas in the state and out of state. Read less
