The Athletics program is not the best but we have a few good teams here and there. Teachers are great, there is one or two staff members students don't like compared to the 20+ staff members that students love. The after school programs/clubs are great and if there isn't one about you like you could always create your own. The food is lovely and if you would like it to be better you could always order cafe from the Culinary students. Its location is amazing, after school you can walk over to walgreens, mcdonalds, and/or five guys and make it back to your bus in time. The Primes/Magnets are phenomenal. With Culinary bringing us cafe, Dance & Vocal bringing us shows, Carpentry building us items, Visual Arts bringing us beauty, I.T. making us programs, & Cosmetology doing our hair we create the best school possible. And + the new building is amazing.

My daughter had an absolutely abysmal experience at Maryvale. The "mean girls", bullying and…read morecliques were tolerated by the administration (one of the worst bullies was actually given the St. Jullie Billiart award (for niceness) at graduation). Many of the unkindnesses were observed and ignored by staff. The academics were very disappointing - considerable gaps exist in my daughter's knowledge despite her 3.80 GPA and her participation in the SJB program. In general, her mathematical foundation is poor; e.g., she does not know how to convert relatively simple measurements or execute calculations. Similar issues exist with science. Some of these reviews cite lack of diversity; during our tenure, that was not an issue, so it appears to have been addressed. The college admissions assistance was nonexistent. We ended up having to spend over four thousand dollars to obtain guidance in time to submit the applications. Do NOT attend this school - so many other good schools are in the area!

Attended an event here where my daughter performed with the BSA choir!…read moreIt was such a great show. Seating is super limited so although we had seats, several folks were standing. The acoustics were pretty good. Performance was outstanding. Staff was a bit rude rushing parents into the theatre although they were trying to ask questions about parking and seating etc. Timing was not thoughtful as the event was at 5pm which was really tough due to downtown traffic and zero dedicated parking. Signage or direction could have been better. The address leads to the side entrance but the event entrance was around the corner. Ultimately, I will return for another show to support a local school that I respect so much, however, at least I know about parking and location in advance.

I will always feel a deep sense of gratitude that my daughter was lucky enough to attend the…read moreGreenmount school. No school is perfect, but we felt Greenmount came awfully close to meeting that parental ideal. It provided our child with a five star education at a modest for private, school cost and was academically and socially transformative. The staff were bright, creative, nurturing and insightful. Even the two tough love teachers were lovely folks who I respect and have genuine affection for. Some of its faculty were down right brilliant and amazed us left and right. We are both educators so know good teaching when we see it and most times it was amazing as were the administrators: Steve, Elaine and Liz. I can't speak to the present staff, as a few of our favorites have moved on, but when we were there, you would be hard pressed to find a more talented math and language arts faculty. Every one my daughter caught, were knock your socks off good! Sometimes I'd sigh with pleasure watching them teach. One that we nearly worshiped, Ms Tanza is is still on staff and she was an outstanding educator, but went to a much needed administrative position. The administration and office staff were always welcoming, and generous with their time and so kind. If they said they would look into something, or amend it, they promptly did so. I don't know of another head of school who would drop everything and personally walk down and check on a child who was feeling a bit anxious like Ms Elaine and Ms Liz, or a history teacher who would bat around a project after school with your child for 30 minutes, like Fletcher. I felt that every staff member genuinely enjoyed children and took the responsibility assigned to them. They are committed, kind watchful, hard working and the majority deep souled. We loved the small cozy feel, communally imaginative and artistic hum, and a staff that strategized together, and things like Shakespeare plays open to all, vibrantly interesting themes, spiraling curriculum and creative after school club offerings. Their mutual concern for students extended beyond academics, and strongly factored in each student's confidence, learning style, social and emotional well being. Issues of bulling and unkindness were addressed, as well as academic remediation and encouragement provided. Teachers invited students to drop in after school with questions. If a mistakes was made they owned and and apologized. I adored that about them.They were great about email. Many were witty, humble and delightful. I once watched two well up with tears at how far my child had come. My child was dyslexic and dysgraphic and hated writing and would be in tears for hours and left a strong writer and great speller thanks to the combined talents of Ms. Tanza, Ms. Allison and Ms. Pam. They literally remediated her in a 1.5 months and took her fear and dread of writing away. They were miraculous. She was quiet and made great friends and grew in confidence. I saw children who hated math grow to relish it and describe it as their favorite subject. In fact, I have never seen a group of children so fired up and in love with math. Mr Luca was as outstanding at the language arts staff. Unfortunately, those instructors have left, retired or taken admin positions, but they were worth every penny of that tuition. Science other than my daughter's first two years with Pam and Ms Elizabeth who were awesome, could have been stronger, but we haven't been at a school were I wouldn't level that same complaint. It is hard to find capable science faculty and do so on the limited budget most schools have, even at the 35K a year schools. There are sometimes good club activities to round that out and they were actively working on improving the situation prior. Like all private schools, there is a lot of staff turnover. That is both a good and bad thing. Sometimes you hit it right and catch some rather breathtaking educators who are only in town for a few years, or unfortunately near retirement and you are heart broken to see them go. Yet anyone not up to snuff is rarely retained for more than a year, which is more than you can say about public school. It's sad when the stellar ones leave, but comforting when anyone struggling is moved along, and the experience is uniformly allotted. If public school is not a great fit for you child, race to GreenMount, it really is a gem of a school with the most caring and delightful staff.

Greenmount is a small community focused on giving its students a large education. The classes are…read moresmall, 12 in Kindergarten and 12- 15 in the elementary and middle schools. The curriculum is developed around 3 themes annually and theme is the same for the entire school K-8. It is also a parent co-op with each parent required to volunteer to defray costs. This means the tuition is more in the $10 - $12 K range, a real value in a city where independent school tuition can be +$25 K.

This school has reasons to be both fun and terrible. There are some things that make this school…read morefun but others make it the worst. The first reason I have which makes this school bad is that some teachers are VERY racist. Yes, I'm talking about you miss, (definitely targeted) like some of us actually want to learn but are treated unfairly. WDYM you won't let me sit with my friends just because I'm not the race you like. Some people have their IPADS out because "they forgot their computer" but you're gonna make copies for me when I don't have it... AND you're gonna write me up if you see my phone IN my pocket... My second reason is that the bathrooms are actually so dirty. WHY do the pad machines not work?? They are catching dust. OMG and the nurse? Before we actually got ice packs but now?? FROZEN.NAPKINS. HOW is a napkin gonna fix anything. My final reason is that the food is actually hazardous. We found food that was expired LAST year... Oh and the broccolis actually stink. The fruits smelt so bad because they were DEFINITELY not "fresh". But a few things are great, for example the activities that we did were pretty fun and some of the teachers were nice and made you feel welcomed in there classrooms. But some teachers, PLEASE make your classrooms better. In conclusion, this school is fun SOMETIMES and terrible most of the time. Shoutout to Mr. Fique (best advisory + gym teacher) and Miss Perez. In the end, the memories that were made will stay forever!
