I graduated from Greenwood about 15 years ago and the education is great, and the ability to easily dual-enroll gets you a nice head start in college. You get individualized attention and the classes (in general) are not dumbed down. High academic attainment is the norm. As a result of my education from Greenwood, I earned a handful of academic scholarships.

I was only there for high school, and the social dynamic was strange. 24 of the 29 people I graduated with had been together since kindergarten. There was a prevalent “bullying” problem in the early 2000’s that the administration turned a blind eye to. Some of the kids were outright malicious, and had the financial ability to get away with (metaphorical) murder because of their parents. While it might not be the “real world”, it does give some insight into how the world is different for the top earners in our community.
