Greensboro High School Explained

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]
