Test Scores

The Greenfield School has two full science labs, two computer labs, an expanded state-of-the-art library, newly renovated cafeteria, air-conditioned and handicapped accessible building, a fully equipped gymnasium, and a kindergarten play yard. The "Secret Garden" contains bountiful flowers as well as blackberry, raspberry and blueberry bushes. Last September, the Secret Garden’s apple tree bore enough fruit to provide each teacher with an apple on the first day of school!

"Greening Greenfield" is a five-phase initiative that will transform the building and grounds of the school from a mixed-use asphalt play yard to a self-sustaining, flowering green space. Phase I, which was completed in 2009, included new play equipment, a rain garden with 23 new trees, an herb garden and orchard, and a rock garden. The new water-permeable surface collects rainwater and reduces runoff into the municipal sewer system.

The rooftop weather station, funded completely by a student-organized "penny drive", is connected to every classroom, providing constant meteorological data.
