Can’t imagine sending my children to any other school. The school has been more than accommodating for my son who is on the spectrum. The school offers many academic and extra curricular activities. We moved to the community in 2013 and they’ve been nothing more than welcoming. Highly recommend Greenwich!

I'm going to make it very clear that I am NOT a parent and am currently a STUDENT at GCS High School and have been here since Kindergarten. I will not specify who I am or what grade I am in for privacy reasons. I honestly have no idea how I ended up on this forum (probably plain curiosity), but I was heavily disappointed by some of the reviews and I thought I would add my perspective as a student to contrast those of a potentially entitled or disgruntled parent.Homework: I'm a student, so of course I'm going to complain about the homework. That being said, the stress and amount depends on the course your taking and the teacher you have, but I have not found any course to have unmanageable homework so far. The approach and effectiveness varies from teacher to teacher.Teachers: Most, if not all, of the teachers at Greenwich Junior-Senior High School are heavily invested in their students, are dedicated to their profession and constantly push for their students success. Most are notably pleasant and all will bend over backwards to help a struggling student catch up or excel. Leadership: Our principle and vice principle run a tight ship. There is a no nonsense policy and zero acceptance for disruptions, bullying, or any kind of unruly behavior. That being said, both are pleasant people and work hard for the school and overall student success.Character: The school does its best to mold its students into helpful, encouraging, diligent, reliant, and productive members of society. That being said, the character of a student also heavily depends on their home environment.Learning differences: I have seen my school invest so much of its resources in to helping those with physical and learning disabilities. I go to school with people who have speech disorders, learning impairments, vision impairments, and so much more. Those who say Greenwich doesn't care about those with learning differences simply don't speak the truth. GCSD invests aids, technology and special classes to help those with disabilities or impairments receive the best quality education possible. I have seen so many graduate to colleges and succeed in both white collar and blue collar jobs.Bullying: Bullying is not tolerated at all. Physical bullying here is considerably rare for a public school, and those rare incidences are met with swift discipline and punishment. Verbal bullying occurs sometimes, but the school does its best to prevent it from happening to the best of its ability.
