  3. Last June, the Greenwich School District was ranked the 11th best school district in the entire Capital Region (out of 85 regional school districts). This ranking was based entirely on the academic results earned by Greenwich students on Regents exams and other New York State exams.

  13. State and National Recognition for our school Newsweek and the Daily Beast ranked Greenwich High School as one of the Best 2,000 high schools in the United States last year. The Albany Business Review ranked Greenwich High School as the 12th Best High School in the Capital Region last year. The Albany Business Review ranked the Greenwich Social Studies Department as the 4th Best in the Capital Region last year. The English Department was ranked 12th and the Science Department was ranked 22nd.
  14. A New York State “Reward” School The New York State Commissioner of Education Dr. John King recently designated Greenwich High School as a NYS Reward School. This designation was based upon the superior performance of our students in math and ELA as well as the high percentage of students earning Regents or Advanced Regents Diplomas. Greenwich was 1 of only 249 schools in New York State to receive this recognition. Only 5% of schools in New York State earned this honor.
  15. Thank You! We know that our school’s success is the direct result of the tremendous support that we enjoy from our families and our community! We appreciate your support and welcome the opportunity to continue to work together to build the best possible academic and extra-curricular program possible for our kids! Please let us know what we can do to further enhance and improve our programs, our methods of communication, or any other aspect of our school.
