Greenwood School

Majority of the people at this school are bad but you have a few good ones.

The principle is very disrespectful and short tempered.

I was going to apply to send my son to this school. The application asks: male/female/non-binary and preferred pronouns. I'm not interested in a school that challenges basic science.

My son, who is on the autism spectrum and also has ADHD, has been a student at Greenwood for 1.5 years. So far our experience has been a hugely positive one. My son is an eager learner but he struggles with social-emotional skills and executive functioning tasks. Most of the teachers and administration seem to "get" him - they understand that some things are harder for him (flexibility, social communication, handwriting, project planning, etc.) and have been compassionate and creative in coming up with solutions. I love that he's in a school that supports his needs while also providing the "typical" school experience (a standard academic curriculum along with field trips, dances, sports teams, clubs, etc.). The only negative thing I could say is that not a lot of homework comes home so sometimes I wonder what he's learning in his classes and if he's being challenged enough academically.Our experience has been that Greenwood is a safe, compassionate, family-oriented school.

Do not send your loved on to this school. My child's self-esteem plummeted. They are not trained as they claim to work with kids on the spectrum and the administration is not compassionate when dealing with disabilities. They were warm and inviting for the tour. Once my child began attending the school, the attitude changed. It was like they went from warm and friendly to not remembering who we were. The administrator expelled 8 kids from my child's class during the year, leaving the parents holding the bill. The parents had to pay out the year. The administration did not follow a progression of discipline but went straight to expulsion. I can understand that there are circumstances in which this may be warranted, but 8? In one class? I feel that this school is not as interested in assisting children as it claims.
