Shared Values:
We believe our diversity helps all of us grow academically as well as socially as we learn from each other.

We expect that by meeting the individual needs of all students during their years at Greenfield School, each child will be able to perform at or above proficient level in all academic areas in high school and beyond.
We expect each child to perform at or above proficient level on standardized tests and to have the necessary study skills to accept all academic challenges.

We expect that all Greenfield graduates will have the social skills to manage conflicts and act as responsible citizens. Above all, we expect that every child will be able to use al of his or her skills working together with others in an increasingly global society.

We believe that by offering a clean, safe and supportive environment that is conducive to learning, every child can and will learn.

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.
