I normally don’t like leaving bad reviews, but parents really deserve a heads up about Greenway Middle School. One of the biggest issues here is how they handle students being late. If your kid is even a little late, they automatically get lunch detention or after-school detention. And if you’re a working parent or don’t have a car, this becomes a huge problem. They don’t provide a late bus unless there’s an after-school program, sport, or some event happening that day. So if there’s no activity, your kid is basically stuck and you’re expected to drop everything and go pick them up.It feels like the school is more focused on punishing kids than actually helping them succeed. Instead of trying to understand why a student might be late, they just hand out detentions like it’s nothing. For families who rely on the bus or have inconsistent transportation, it’s honestly unfair and stressful. I really hope they rethink these policies, because right now Greenway is not doing parents or students any favors.

We’ve only been at this school for one year (1st grade). My son has major learning difficulties, so, I want to point out that it has a good special education team to better assist those children with learning difficulties. The front office is nice and helpful. However, other staff members are not that friendly. Overall, it is a good school. The academic ratings found on this website really make you wonder why they are so low at this school compared to the rest of the schools in the state. Let’s hope my son has another good year in 2nd second grade!

This school has really took a turn since the new principal has came, my kids tell me about the new improvements made. Teachers are engaging a lot more with the no cellphone law! My kid that’s a special education student got proficient on his reading pre act which is a major improvement for him!
