Racial and homophoic slurs and rethoric were constant and teachers did little to nothing to disrupt or report acts of racial macroagressions.

This school is not somewhere I would want my child to go, and I currently work here. It’s gotten worse over the years, I completely blame administration. Students don’t feel safe going to them with their problems because nothing ever gets solved. They try to handle things are their own or they just bury the way they feel. Bullying is a huge problem and staff does nothing to reprimand, besides maybe a day or a block in ISS because the principal wants to try and keep the rating up. Certain kids should have been removed from the district a long time ago, but they continue to get passes, even though these kids have threatened multiple other children and even staff. But it all gets swept under the rug. Parents aren’t notified when there is a concerning student who others should honestly fear because they have shown multiple times, they are to be feared. I don’t recommend anyone going to this school until administration changes. No rules are followed, protection isn’t given and if you aren’t in the inner circle of the staff, you get snubbed. A lot of students aren’t listened to because they are deemed “dramatic” even if what they are saying should raise concern with admins. The school needs a total sweep of principals.

My experience with the school has been stellar. My wife and I have one child currently in attendance while two have already moved on to middle and high school. The teachers have always been very supportive and shown a strong interest in the success of our children. The principal is excellent; I’m a bit taken aback by the negative comments made by other reviewers. Additionally, Greenfield has the best elementary music program (chorus and consort) in this part of the state. Hands down it is the best elementary school in Botetourt County.
