The Greensboro Elementary School site formerly housed Greensboro High School

Greensboro High School was a public high school in Greensboro, Florida. It was a part of Gadsden County Public Schools. West Gadsden High School, established in 2004, absorbed students who formerly attended Chattahoochee High School and Greensboro High School.[1] The former Greensboro High campus was used for several years as the site of West Gadsden High;[2][3] it now houses Greensboro Elementary School.[4]

Academics

In 2003 the school was ranked "D" under Florida's school ranking system.[5]

Desegregation

Brian Miller of the Tallahassee Democrat stated that the high school mergers damaged the school athletic spirit in the county as the former school identities were discarded.[6]

According to Headley J. White, author of the 2006 PhD thesis "Effects of Desegregation on Gadsden County, Florida Public Schools 1968-1972," in post-desegregation Gadsden County, there was no stigma applied against white students who attended Greensboro High, while white students in other Gadsden County public schools experienced this stigma.[7]
