While the head principal is a wonderful man this school is riddled with verbally abusive students. There are drug problems/racial stereotyping that is not only ignored but tolerated without punishment. Minority students such as myself, are targeted and made to feel very uncomfortable and inferior.

The teachers at this school wouldn't be bothered to give me the time of day, nor did they care when myself and many of my other friends often were harassed or skipped school. Our choir director mocked a few girls openly in class, and would play favourites to the point where it was obvious that if you weren't one of his favourite students, you may as well have not existed. I got away with sleeping in class for three out of my four years there, and I know many students, myself included, who could, and would, just walk out of the building. The people who were supposed to care about us didn't, unless we were blatantly having problems, and oftentimes we were told to 'not let it get to us', when these problems were contributing to our mental health. Our sex ed is laughable--one of the brightest girls in my class had a child in her freshmen year--and I learnt more from a google search. This place is not somewhere where anybody should send their children.

Greenwood Mill is an amazing school! All of the faculty and staff treat you like family and they know all of the kids by name. The teachers do a great job motivating the students and helping them achieve their goals through positive reinforcement. They encourage parental involvement through volunteering and offer many PTO events to get families involved..and you will always see Mrs. Muldowney at the events smiling and welcoming every child and family member. My daughter has loved her experience here!
