This school is probably the worst middle school I've enrolled into. I have many things to say about this school, so I'll just be real. Most of the teachers are TOO disengaging. They just teach you lessons and expect you to understand it enough to get a good grade. They also give TONS of assignments and expect you to finish it in under a week. The students cause too much trouble and get into many fights. The staff members just baby you around instead of treating you like a middle schooler. The school's apparently so broke that we only get 1 field trip every year, which is the "All School Field Trip" and the special needs get better treatment. The only drinks they provide for lunch are only chocolate milk and regular milk. They should provide bottled water for people who don't have water bottles or people that don't want to drink from the water fountains. Some students will steal your school chromebook/charger for absolutely no reason. Some of the staff members even take your stuff away for the rest of the day, even if some of those students needs those stuff. They also have a vending machine, but they close it during the day and it only opens in the morning and dismissal time. What's the point of having a vending machine in the school if it's just closed during the day? Overall, this school is below average and at least I'm moving to a new middle school after this school year ends. I suggest you don't enroll your child in this school.

I went to PBHS and I love it the principal was amazing the teachers were really hands on with us and all around this school to me me gets an 9 out of 10 keep it paint branch your amazing

My experience has been worth it! I appreciate the teachers that are strong at this school to teach our children in a fun and exciting way. I had a lovely experience with my child's teacher, Ms. May; the effort, strong dedication and determination to teach my child with special learning needs was all worth it. The new admin. staff that really put their continue to efforts to make sure my child thrived in a learning environment that was challenging for my child really speaks volumes to support Greencastle needed. The admin. staff worked very hard to provide my child with the correct tools. This year was not easy but we pushed through with such great support. Working together with the school as a parent make it much more easier for my child and Greencastle did that this school year & I am grateful!!
