WSJ Highlights Recent Greenwich School District Struggles

The article.

Nothing about this article is encouraging, but I’ll add my two cents about the Greenwich School District.

Personally going through the Greenwich School System, I had no complaints. What was obvious though, especially at the High School level, is how easy it could be to get lost in the mix, given the size of the school. The Town of Greenwich is truly a city. And while the ranking of our school district is nothing great, the only school system that is ranked higher than us with a larger student population is Fairfield (Greenwich has 8,847, compared to Fairfield’s 10,108.)

Not many people realize how racially, economically and culturally diverse Greenwich is. Our school district offers some truly cutting edge programs, but it is obvious we are dropping the ball when it comes to servicing the needs of our broad student population.
