GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I would say its about 50/50 Some days its bad some days I love it but the food is terrible everyday. 3rd lunch is left with nothing and the lines are so long that almost every student does not get to eat unless they bring their own food.

I think the school is meant for students wanting to meet their academic performances. There are many clubs and sports to choose from. I enjoyed being in color guard especially because I wanted to be athletic in some way but without having to be to rigid in exercise. Color guard helped me be creative in a way but without having to paint. I think at any schools there will be a drawback I think one of those were kids being annoyed easily in school assignments and about teachers negative sides. I think I would want to see change how peoples perspective is and have a more better role about being involved in school events. If more people participate the less negative perspectives they can have on the school staff/students.

I have been at Greenville for a semester and it has been really good. I get a lot of options and have made a lot of friends. The school is a little old but it is very spacious.

My daughter was able to do ROTC and she played the violin in the strings program. There will always be good/bad experiences with teachers. Th...

Greenville High School has enormous tradition and a great group of students and alumni. The school has a wonderful Freshman Academy that does an excellent job transitioning the 9th graders into high school. The law and finance magnet is strong too. This year the local bank even put a branch in the s...

I just completed my freshman year at Greenville High School. At first GHS was my first choice. Then it became the last place I wanted to go to. I applied for Wade Hampton, my number one choice, and was put on the waiting list. I applied to JL Mann, Greenville High School's rival, and was desperate t...
