I went to Greenhills for middle school, and the Ann Arbor Public Schools for elementary and high school. Greenhills is a good school, but it doesn't offer much that the public schools do not. People at Greenhills think they are special because of the school that they attend, not because of their own
... Read more personal merits or abilities, and I believe this is a probelm. Yes, Greenhills sends a lot of graduates to Ivy leagues and other great universities, but I believe these students are motivated and intelligent, and would have made it to these schools regardless of their attendance at Greenhills. People at Greenhills think they are the best thing since sliced break, but they don't know that other people are laughing at them for spending thousands of dollars on an education they could be getting for free nearby.

Greenhills talks a lot about diversity. While they focus on the racial side, few realize how diverse the school is in so many other ways that matter much more. Greenhills has brilliant minds, gifted athletes, talented artists, and they all learn, compete, and work with each other in ways that show
... Read more how diverse the student body really is. The person who said that Greenhills is not for gifted students is very wrong. A school with diverse minds and interests forces everyone to learn from each other, and that is exactly how Greenhills functions. Parents are extremely involved in everything going on from theater events and art shows, to track meets and basketball games. The teachers seem to live for the students, devoting not just part of each day, but much of their lives to helping each student. Greenhills has had 100% college acceptance for more years than I know.
