Overall I had a wonderful experience at Greenwich High School. My classes were very rigorous so in terms of preparing me for college education, I would say I am well prepared. I wish the school also made sure to teach life skills that are important for university and post university, such as managing finances and paying taxes. The food is also poor quality so I had to bring food from home. Unfortunatly, that isn't an option for everyone which is why it should be improved. However, the facilities make up for some of the schools faults. The preforming arts center, for instance, is a great space to make music, host performances, and bring the community together, all in the presence of a state of the art facility. Likewise, there have been renovations to the fields and the stadium. As of now the front entrance is being improved for students safety. Overall, a positive experience!
My experience at Greenwich High School has been pretty satisfactory. I'm the third child in my family to go through this school and the public school system and they have been, the majority of the time, very understanding and adaptive to our progression as students. Problems get resolved quickly and there is always someone to go to for help. As the years progress, the school continues to become more inclusive with student-led clubs and programs open to all students. I'd say that from my experience that this high school is an excellent choice to prepare for college education and your general future path.
If you are looking for a really good high school that is not a private school Greenwich High School is that. My experience with GHS was really good, besides COVID that halted my freshman year. I was able to get support whenever I needed it and there was an opportunity for everyone. The one problem with GHS is the lack of diversity at the school. This is not entirely the schools fault since Greenwich is a primarily white area.
