"Our daughter attended Greenwood Elementary School from 1981 to 1986. The school was wonderful and the teachers and principal were excellent. We believe that her earlier training at Greenwood was a great help in all her future educational efforts. She graduated from UC Davis School of Medicine and is currently a pediatric cardiologist at Oregon Health Science University. A long way from Greenwood but a learning experience she still talks about."

"Due to my job my kid has studied in many schools over the last few years and we felt that this school is the best of all. Outstanding teacher who goes beyond the call of duty. Very affectionate principal and staff. My kid really enjoyed studying in this school."

"Greenwood Elementary seems to have all of the ingredients for the recipe of Cherry Creek's excellent schools. Unfortunately, they also had no problem villianizing a new student, a very kind and intelligent child, who was maligned based mostly on hearsay or one-sided stories. I'm not saying there were no issues, but nothing amounted to what was portrayed, and very little matched what was observed at home. The student had become intimidated to the point of not believing their side of the story even mattered. This school singled-out and reinforced the negative self-image of a small kid, as well as terrified and pressured the parents with exaggerated reactions and hurtful characterizations. I'm so thankful we recognized how destructive and irreconcilable their prejudice had become. Leaving Greenwood was the healthiest and most loving thing this family could do for itself. No one will ever treat our child that way again."

"Attracts the smartest kids in Cherry Creek who opted not to go the route of the Challenge School. Supplanted Cherry Hills as the premier 'normal' elementary school in the district. Does nothing special -- rather it just teaches to the level of the students, and that level is as much as 50% advanced in each and every grade. Good population base + great talent from influx of open enrollees enrolled selectively and strategically."

"In our experience this school does not work well for twice exceptional students. Our son is very bright but can be attention challenged, and the school's solution was to reduce his enrichment activities, which only increased his boredom and problems paying attention. When we encouraged the school to challenge him more, they refused. We ended up enrolling him in a private school for gifted children where he has thrived."
