I was part of the Greenback faculty from 2000 - 2008 and was proud to be identified with Greenback School. I retired in 2008 but still substitute at the school because I miss the students, teachers and staff. I taught in 3 different school before coming to GBS and I never found any of them to be as

They will go out of their way to help a student in whatever their needs are. The students at GBS are not just a number but are people who need to be taught and listened to. I am glad to be a part of the GBS family and hope that the county will soon begin to build a new school now!!!! Read less

The teachers, and administration are very caring and it is evident that they take personal ownership in the students at Greenback.

Greenback is a great school, the new principal Joey Breedlove is very astute and caring. The school does need some construction upgrades, im not sure that it even meets the fire codes now!, but dont let those issues take away from the wonderful staff and students that call this learning institution home.

I was blessed to able to attend Greenback and it's ashame the lack of support the school gets from the county today. It's such a unique school and close knit environment that it would be ashame for people to let that disappear.

I currently attend Greenback School and I am a junior. I moved to this school when I was in the 8th grade. I think Greenback is a wonderful school.

My child has gone to Greenback since Kindergarden. I hate the fact that lunch starts 10:00 in the morning. That is the only way they can get all of the kids through the lunch line because the school is K-12. It is ridiculous! They need to get with the times and seperate the elementary from the high

They tell you that your child does not do well, but they don't want to take the time to disipline(or make sure that they are doing the work in class).

Greenback provides a quality learning environment while also providing individual attention to give every kid an even chance. Kids are expected to work hard and take advantage of those chances, and it shows. Just compare the standardized test scores to the rest of the schools in the county if you want
... Read more proof. Parent involvement is welcomed. Faculty and staff are caring and accessible. I'm overjoyed they still require respectful attitudes and if that means a strict dress code & threat of a paddle, then I'm all for it. When Greenback students leave an event or field trip, I consistently hear comments about how well-behaved and polite they are. Greenback may not have all the amenities that larger schools have, but the educational atmosphere is superior to large, crowded, rowdy classrooms in bigger schools.

They spend their own time and money tutoring children, sponsoring clubs, helping families, and giving support at academic and athletic events. I wish that I could somehow adequately thank each individual who works in that school and has helped mold my son into the young man that he is. I feel that he is more than equipped to handle the world. Read less
