Greenbrier Wooster Elementary School

This school is really good at test taking...and that's about all. Favoritism is rampant. Most teachers appear to be teachers only so they can be coaches. And the administration has no issue with certain coaches using profane and vulgar language in the classroom or locker room (I'm talking "f" bombs on a regular basis). More money is spent on athletics than academics as evidenced by the brand new volleyball "pit", the dedicated basketball "pavilion" and the college-level football field with brand new press box. (This is a small district...some kids get scholarships to small schools after their career here, but I doubt anyone is going pro.) The communication is next to none. If there is something to be shared, it's not done in the weekly "message" and you'll be lucky to find out about it more than a couple of days in advance. I picked this district based on its US News ranking and it's Great Schools rating. I have learned that you can't really judge a school by the rating. There are so many intangibles that affect the school environment. We moved from Washoe County Nevada...one of the lowest ranking schools in the country. But, I feel like my kids were better educated and cared about in that district than they are here.
