Read what parents are saying about Greenfield Middle SchoolWe love GMS. This place has definitely turned the corner for the better.
Posted by a parent on 3/5/2024Third middle school as parent. GMS far exceeds others. Engaged caring staff. Kind student body.
Posted by a parent on 12/21/2023I cannot wait to leave this school.Engaging with this school administration is a lesson in gaslighting and lil service.Do not expect to have communication. Do not expect to be welcomed as a parent or given opportunities to be involved. Do not expect interaction. Do not expect information. Do not expect the phone to be answered.This district views parents as a burden to be dealt with and not as partners. While I think the majority of teachers are doing their very best and are skilled, interested in their students and subjects, the bottom-line is they are underfunded, stretched thin and underpaid despite the highest possible taxes, and are not supported adequately by the administration. My child started at this school as an excited child and is now an embittered, anxiety ridden kid who can’t stand any extra stimulation like noise or basic directions because they are so burnt out by the environment.Do not expect to change minds or hearts or have a sounding board for new ideas or anything remotely progressive.Their response to any of your issues is that they do not share your perception.If you like being stuck in a bog with no way out our forward then this is the school for you.
Posted by a parent on 5/10/2022Kids see. To be falling behind and I believe some teachers lack passion!
Posted by a parent on 4/15/2021It's only day three for my fourth grader and I'm seriously considering taking her out of this school. The first thing I noticed about this school is that it was over 90 degrees inside during the open house. The first day of school it was even worse. Today is day three and my child begged me not to send her to school because it's so hot. There are no fans or air conditioning. Surely, they're working on something to accommodate cooler conditions for the students and staff? I've called both principals three times, the nurse once and the front desk leaving messages every time. No one has returned my calls. Perhaps it's time to seriously consider Home Schooling.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a five star school to me and my family because of what it has personally done for us. The teachers are amazing and the positive community is so much more than I have ever experienced! Also, the faith and morals that the kids learn is so helpful for them to go into the "world" as caring and loving people--The kind of people this world needs!Parent Review13y ago - Greenfield Center School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNot a safe school. Not a progressive school. The head of the school needs to be replaced, immediately and the school needs to do a real hard look at itself. I had both of my children at this school for two years. I drained my savings thinking that this school was worth its tuition cost. Instead, we received a sub-par education and two children who still upset when we drive by the school sign. No diversity. No languages. No art classroom. No lunchroom. Just no. As a parent of two non-white, lower middle class children, I am not sure if my experience would have been different if I those things weren't true. My children were wildly behind in math and science when starting back up in public school. Their teachers were not surprised when they heard that they had gone to the Center School. My 5th grader (at the time) was taught more about oral sex than math, art or current events. I am a queer liberal person, but, seriously?My younger son, autistic (school knew at admittance) was left to his own devices, kicked out of class whenever he was too much, making him feel shame. We paid out of pocket for an ABA therapist to be with him at school who reported that it was actually my son being picked on, being asked to repeat bad words (echolalia) by peers and then getting sent home for them. I couldn't believe it and yet I still didn't say anything. This school is not safe: I was called by the head of the school on a Friday in August to inform me that a student in my sons pre-k class had used a racial slur months earlier and that it was now being 'dealt with.' When I asked what that meant, I was given an obligatory few lines about 'why we don't say that word' but what I really wanted, even as someone no longer involved with the school, was to know that this was going to be addressed in a real way. This school is not safe: My son was allowed to walk in the rain on the OUTSIDE of a foot bridge at the school with a 3-4' drop. He slipped, was tangled in a ball of twine that 'happened to be hanging off the bridge' (why?) fell and shattered his wrist. No ambulance was called. In fact, when I got inside, the head of the school walked in front of me/my child with her arms outstretched telling me 'he is okay' (in fact his bone was literally sticking out of his wrist and was badly broken - clearly). Thousands of dollars in medical bills later, we never received a single call or note from the head of the school. Never a mention of the emotional or financial cost. Nothing.Parent Review1mo ago - Hillcrest
