I went there, K-12. I started back when it was actually affordable (e.g. $50/semester.) It was highly competitive to get in at the time, and I was put on a waiting list when I was born. When I graduated, I believe my parents were paying ~as much as a University freshman would be paying (but I was taking college courses.)

I'd say the "spoiled rich kid" comments would be highly inaccurate based on my experiences, but that might be different now since the cost of education has gone up so much. I came from a middle/upper-middle class background. I had classmates whose parents were farmers, university teachers, librarians, as well as doctors and lawyers.

I also lived in a rural area, and driving us kids to school every day surely was a pain for my parents, but will be less of an issue for you guys since your wife will be teaching there. Greenwood follows the University schedule, so if Campus is closed for whatever reason (e.g. snow days) the school will be, too.

Since most kids stick with it K to 12, each class is a pretty tight-knit group. The quality of your kid's social experience will likely depend on the quality of the other kids in the group. My class was fuckin' awesome, with a lot of really bright and mature kids, whereas my little sister's class was full of cliques and holy terrors.

Bullying, yes. Hazing, yes. But these things happen in public school, too. My best friend went to Greenwood K-6th and then switched to Pipkin/Parkview. He had a nightmarish experience with bullying at Parkview. It was so bad he decided to homeschool his own children than subject them to public schools.

There are plenty of kids who go K->6 and then switch to public schools, so don't rule that out if things aren't clicking. That said, I think Greenwoods 7->12 experience is where the school really excels. They are very very much college prep focused. Getting access to university resources, college courses, etc is unparalleled. Not only was I able to take university classes for topics I was interested in, it put me ahead of the curve once I went to college --I had a bunch of pre-reqs taken care of, I knew what to expect with college coursework already, I was familiar with the campus, etc. If you don't think your kid will be college-bound, then switching them to a public school ~9->12 for access to more trades-style classes should be an option.

There were certainly some things I didn't like about my experience there, but if I could time travel, I don't think I would not go to Greenwood -- I generally think I'm a better, more successful person because my parents sent me there.

Pros:

Very low turnover with staff, smaller classes, a lot of individualized care and attention, creating a well-rounded kid and probably setting them up for life if they're college-bound. Access to University resources. The school sports programs are also very good and basically accessible by any student if they want to. Parents are also really proactive creating class extracurricular sports teams for K->6 students (baseball, football, soccer, basketball) -- I did them all.

Cons:

Expensive. Smaller static classes may limit their social experiences. Potentially some very intense schoolwork (esp as Jr. and Sr.)
