    "GHS is a good school if you take advantage of everything that it has to offer in terms of academics, arts, sports and clubs. It has a wide variety of classes, and is good for students wanting to take Honors/AP classes as well as those students who are really struggling. However, if you're somewhere in the middle, it is easy to fall through the cracks because the school is so big. The Honors/AP classes should be harder, but unfortunately, the school is influenced by the parents, so there are a lot of kids in the Honors/AP classes who shouldn't be there. The classes are quite big, which is good for louder, more confident kids, but again it's harder for some kids to shine in the classes. GHS was okay, but I wouldn't go back if I could help it."

    "Once again I am disappointed by Greenwich High School. As the only public High School in my catchment area, I literally have NO OTHER CHOICE unless I want to pay a small fortune in private school fees. This school may have a very broad course offering that spans AP, Honors and basic courses. However, this is completely undermined by the administration of the sports programs - where selection processes are not fair, open or transparent - and truly harmful health & education classes. The principal seems like a good guy with good intentions but I don't think that he is close enough to the detail of what goes on in his name. Given that I have no other choice in the public sector and looking at the size of my property taxes, disappointed doesn't even get there. If you live in Greenwich, my best advice is to start saving NOW."

    "The academic program l for top-notch students is really lacking in most areas besides mathematics. I attended GHS and have gone on to an Ivy, and I found that GHS was completely inadequate preparation for what I faced in college. Teachers are so terrified of over-aggressive parents and so frustrated with apathetic kids that they give anyone with a basic grasp of English mechanics an A. I never had a teacher actually challenge me beyond requiring a basic knowledge of the facts (besides in AP US History). Once GHS switched to open-enrollment APs, hyper-active parents who were convinced their kids had to go to Ivies started pushing those kids into APs whether the kids wanted to or were capable of taking them or not. The environment is catty and cutthroat beyond 'natural competition.' Students start obsessing about college from day 1, and that gets in the way of actual learning."

    "Absolutely the best school around. I have friends who have considered sending their kids to amazing private schools (from boarding schools to local prep), but decided not to. You need a really good reason to not attend this school; you can't beat what this public school offers. Look at the statistics: Price per pupil. # of APs offered. Diversity. Guidance Counselors who call you at home to discuss colleges. Many colleges don't offer what your kid can get here. And it's as big as some colleges, yet with the "house" system, your kid does not feel lost."

    "The worst four years of my life happened at GHS. If your child is very (and I mean very) independent and ready to work hard they'll be fine. But, if they are the kind of person (which I was) who needs some extra attention from teachers. There's maybe 1 or 2 that I can think of that ever even gave me a shot and having gone to a totally different environment for university, I must say - this school missed out on someone who had a lot of potential because they were too busy trying to figure out who their richest students were."
