Willma Cavitt Junior High School

Greenhills is exceptional. I've had kids here for 5 years and loved every minute of it. The tone starting with the principal down to every employee is one of caring and common sense. No politics getting in the way of doing the right thing here. Bullying is strongly discouraged and therefore virtually non-existent. Troublemakers are being dealt with by the principal himself. Parent participation is very welcome. Academics are very strong. The multi-age program is fantastic and with its buddy system builds character. If you're deciding between here and Oakhills, Greenhills is by far the better school, no contest (just ask subs that sub in the entire district and can objectively compare schools). The teachers are better, more motivated and the tone is much less bureaucratic than Oakhills.

Do not send your kids to the school. They are part of the work agenda and support the trans community. They do not defend the kids in any way. My son gets mindlessly in trouble day and day out for expressing his opinions and bringing problems to the teachers attention. There is no structure. The principle is a joke. He has no grip on his kids.

My daughter loved her kindergarten teacher and enjoyed her experience overall.

I send both of my children here and can't say enough good things. The teachers are excellent, staff is caring and helpful and there is always something fun and interesting going on at the school. They had a planetarium set up in the cafeteria, outdoor fieldtrips, fairs and holiday events, after school enrichment activities, it's a nice community to be a part of.

My child attended Secret Ravine for only a few months, but I found the school to be excellent. The ratio of staff to students is VERY high, and the availability of a 26.5 counselor in the class full time is amazing. The teacher was very caring, and the "Nurtured Heart" program they used was very loving towards kids who can be very hard to handle. They even had a class to teach the parents the program. I often wish I hadn't moved, because the ED school in the county where we ended up was nowhere near as good.
