Greenwood Elementary School

La Grande is a small Eastern Oregon city nestled in the Grande Ronde Valley, with a tight-knit community feel and easy access to the Blue Mountains — it's the kind of place where people genuinely put down roots. Greenwood Elementary serves families in this working-class corner of town, and while its test scores currently sit below state averages, it may appeal most to families who are active in their child's classroom and looking to be closely involved in their education. The school is worth a closer look for parents willing to engage directly with teachers and staff to understand what supports are in place for their kids.
