Greenwood Elementary School

The parent community is involved (think friendly and committed rather than entitled and annoying). The teachers have an unusually informed approach to social-emotional growth -- for example, our long-time PE teacher (who is so amazing she trains other PE teachers in the district) has a whole "kindness" curriculum this year. My kid and his buddies are academically challenged. The PTA fund ensures that all kids get to participate in every activity -- no kid is ever turned away for lack of funds. Commitment to equity is strong from both families and staff. We love this school SO much.

Great community school with strong academic focus. A diverse population who work together, play together and grow together.

I love working at this school. The community's motto seems to be that everyone wins when we help each person succeed. The PTA funds a family support worker and helps buy holiday presents for kids at the school in need. Kids usually seem willing to try new things and work through difficult academic and social problems. The principal is supportive and helpful when I need him, visits my classroom at least once a week, and leaves me alone if I'm doing my job well. Most of the other teachers seem motivated and dedicated to trying new things and helping kids and adults learn.

Love the community, performances and events. Greenwood has a great facility, talented staff and we love walking to school!

What a wonderful kindergarten experience! My son thrived at Greenwood. He's in their enrichment program for advanced learners. All the teachers are amazing: classroom teachers, art teacher, librarian, PE teacher, etc. We consider ourselves very lucky that it's our neighborhood school.
