So the curriculum at this school is a hot mess ! Especially the science classes . Students that take regular standard science classes not honors not AP get similar curriculum . All the students are failing . Test are being failed . Students give up because they know they wont pass the test .Assignments are every where nothing aligns . Students survive in test retakes . So many students are struggling . I don’t see how the administration can’t see its right in their face they aren’t learning it’s to intense . Curriculum is way over the top . That’s why these students are not taking honors or AP courses . Not sure what GPS is trying to achieve . If I was starting my student in high school . I would look at other districts . Families I know that attend chandler school district are shocked when they see GPS - Highland HS assignments and mass emails for students failing !! Believe this is why many are attending to charters schools . Sports is also in the decline at Highland . More kids won’t be able to participate due to college or above curriculum. Run from this school . The Math department also struggles no one teaches . Don’t worry GPS just wants more students to take online classes to retake classes they failed. It is more money for them . Then they have Canyon HS to send your child to. So many parents at other districts do not receive mass emails for so many students ta failing to go to another school during fall break to bring grades up . Why not look at why all these students are failing !! How can you have over 5 plus student a all failing. Enter classes failing or class average on test barely a c or lower !! Don’t be blind sided by GPS and it’s Highland HS . It basically online teach your self . Assuming Highland HS graduation rate is actually lower than what they show . They send the students to Canyon HS .

My family has had a positive experience at Greenfield. The new principal and assistant bring a positive and welcoming atmosphere. They provide a heavy emphasis on building a community and being engaged. Lots of volunteer opportunities and I feel like as a parent, I can be involved in school functions as I want to be. The Reading specialist, Mrs Myers, is incredible. The fourth grade team is top notch as well.

Greenfield is one of the best school environments I've ever worked in. The administrators have values and a vision that prioritizes student growth and learning. The teachers care deeply about students' overall academic wellbeing. In addition, the school has the highest quality SPED programs, music programs and sports offerings. I highly recommend it.
