The faculty consists of 22 full-time equivalent teachers who are dedicated to nurturing young minds. While the school's MySchoolScout rating is currently 4.6 out of 10 and it ranks 80th percentile among Delaware schools, this does not fully capture the unique strengths and character of Greenwood Mennonite School.

What Parents Should Know

As a private school, Greenwood Mennonite School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.

Located in a rural area, Greenwood Mennonite School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
