My daughter game to Greer in 4th grade this year from a small private school, and Greer has been absolutely amazing for her. Her teacher has been so kind and my daughter has been excited to go to school each day (this was not the case at private school). She even says she misses school on the weekends. She has been very interested in everything they have been learning this year. The diversity has been the most amazing part-- her friend group includes kids from all over the world. She has gained a broader perspective of the world and made wonderful friends from very different backgrounds. The ratings on greatschools really don't reflect how wonderful Greer is.

We and our children (two boys now in 1st and 3rd grade) have had a positive experience at Greer Elementary School (2019-2022). The teachers, principal, and other faculty/staff are dedicated, have solid communication skills, and take the time to know students and parents on a level I did not expect for a school of about 500 students. My children have many friends (or their parents) from all over the world, exposing them to diverse cultures and languages (Hindi, Spanish, Russian, Korean, etc.). While the school rating is likely impacted (predictably) by the challenge of teaching students with English as a second language and from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, our children have exceled given the low student to teacher ratios and educational opportunities. We are now planning a move as I have accepted a new job, and we are having a difficult time finding a school with as much diversity as Greer in or around Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Often confusing bc subjects such as math are taught differently than when I was in grade school this making it hard to help guide our child with needed homework help.

Greer is a 10! The teachers are so attentive and invested in their students. Our daughter's kindergarten teacher came to meet us in our home before school even started. The principal and administration are incredible, so nurturing and impressive. The school has a high number of children from refugee families which has been such a positive experience for us. Can't say how much I love and appreciate this school!

This school has a very diverse population which might be reflected in the test scores. However a lot of what makes the school experience great can't be tested objectively. We have had great teachers, great solutions when any problem arose and overall have had a happy experience so far. And the diversity is a PLUS in my mind.

We think Greer is a fantastic school. The "Great Schools" rating system is based primarily on standardized test scores, as far as I can tell. That's only one part of the story. Greer has fantastic teachers and strong support - each teacher has an in-classroom assistant in grades K-3, and classroom sizes are in the 18-20 range. There is incredible diversity, as well - students from all over the world, which gives the kids some great experiences. There's also an excellent G&T teacher, the principal, assistant principal, and staff are excellent...in short, this place is not a "2" out of 10 - it is WAY better than that.
