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.

The worst part is the fact that there are no windows in any of the classrooms or in most of the building. It is dark and not helpful for learning. My teachers have been great and overall I am enjoying HS.

I attend Greenrun Highschool as a class of 2025 senior. Green Run is an overall successful and well organzied school. there are plenty of electives, clubs, and sports. Everyone is involved in one way and its like one huge family.

Green Run High has been a great experience for me. I have been able to meet and enjoy a diverse group of people. I came out my shell as people will say. The environment was great and comfortable for me to do so. The great group of teachers I found to be resourceful and engaging in what they were teaching. I didn't join any groups or organizations but I attended some of the events and they were definitely fun and very entertaining. The ones that was put together for knowledge definitely was informative so that was a plus. The cafeteria food can get a little better so I didn't eat much at school but as for everything else I have to say I really enjoy my time attending Green Run High.

Both of my children loved this school and the school worked hard to make sure the IEP was followed and included my children to make them feel safe and special-I can’t say enough good things about this school!
