Greenwood Forest Elementary School Reviews
The school doesn’t have field trips besides one in 5th grade which is blamed on being title 1, but many other title one schools do have field trips and find ways to fund them so I am sad the students miss out on these opportunities.
GWF has a strong reputation of being a good school despite the lack of exposure via field trips, but the feeder middle school on the same property has a bad reputation regarding bullying and student harassment to the point of being on the news more than once. While this could improve over time, keep it in mind when moving here for the long term.
