I sent my son to Greybull's kindergarten program. By the first couple of years, he excelled ahead of most of the class. He was clearly bored by the end of elementary school. In middle school, it became worse. The programs were no more challenging, and did not challenge my child. I figured that high school would solve this problem, so I left my son in the school. It wasn't any better for him. When he was came home and told me what had happened every day, I became enraged. I discussed this with his teachers, who offered no assistance. My son had an emotional breakdown, because his future looked so bleak. I know that he dreaded waking up in the morning, because his school was making him miserable. I eventually pulled him, and my son is like a new person! He is bright, cheery, happy, and loves his new school! I know that a large portion of the faculty at Greybull wasn't trying to make things miserable- in fact, many tried to help. It's just that the curriculum was way too slow and my child wasn't happy at all. I'm glad that I transferred my child. It's just sad that I had to pull him. In a clear conscience, I cannot recommend GHS, unless they have changed since I pulled my son.

Greybull Elementary School is a school in the midst of achieving excellence. The staff is young and young at heart, serving students in the rural Big Horn Basin. This rural tradition is rooted in deep farming and ranching traditions and the hard work of the early settlers transcends to the classrooms of GES. The students and staff have worked hard to achieve consistently improving test scores, accomplished through the implementation of classroom instructional strategies that consistently work, through the various responses to student-focused interventions, and through highly efficient staff development. The instructional strategies, the interventions, and the staff development all focus with laser-like intensity on the goals of the school: To improve academic achievement for all students, including closing any gaps; to ensure a safe and orderly environment, where students feel safe and learning can occur; and to increase stakeholder involvement. The cracks have been sealed, and all students, parents, families, and community members have been invited to sit at the the table of high expectations. This is Greybull Elementary School, home of the Mighty Buffaloes.
