The school has earned strong recognition with a MySchoolScout rating of 9.2 out of 10 and ranks #539 out of 1462 schools statewide, placing it in the 63rd percentile among Florida schools.

This solid academic standing reflects the school's commitment to student success within its intimate educational setting.

The neighborhood's median home value of $354,900 reflects a stable residential area, though the 16.9% poverty rate indicates the school serves families from various economic backgrounds.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 144 students, The Greene School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 7.1:1, The Greene School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, The Greene 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.
