Greeley is nationally respected for its high academic standards. The high school was ranked #46 nationally in the 2008 U.S. News & World Report rankings of ("America's Best High Schools," ) and #7 among those with open enrollment. It currently offers 17 advanced placement courses. Recent years have seen approximately one-tenth of graduating seniors recognized by the National Merit Scholarship committee; the class of 2004 included 25 National Merit semifinalists; the class of 2005 had 16; the class of 2007, 22. The mean SAT score among graduating seniors in the Class of 2012 was a 1927; 623 in Critical Reading, 652 in Mathematics, 652 in Writing; the average ACT score for the class of 2013 was a 29. 97% of the Class of 2005 went on to higher education, 96% to four-year colleges.
The high school is strong in several extracurricular programs. Its academic challenge team won the National Academic Championship in 2003 and 2013, finished third in 2007, 2009 and 2010, and placed among the top six teams at the national tournament in five of the six years between 2000 and 2005. Chip Beall, the organizer of the tournament, noted in 2007 that Greeley's team had "the most airline miles logged at the National Academic Association's expense", a nod to their placement in the final rounds of the tournament more times than any other team in the tournament's history. The Horace Greeley Debate Team has been successful at many regional tournaments as well as national tournaments, and has sent debaters to States every year since its inception in 2002. The Madrigal Choir, a select group of students auditioned from the full chorus, recently attended the prestigious Disney Honors festival in Orlando, Florida and has performed with other choirs at such venues as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. In 2011, the Madrigal Choir received a gold award and came in second place at the Boston Heritage Festival.
Programs at Horace Greeley include the LIFE (Learning Independently From Experience) school, an alternative school for grades 11–12 located on campus, and independent study and senior project options. Arts and athletic offerings are extensive, and classes are offered in five foreign languages: Spanish, French, Latin, Chinese, and, at the LIFE school, Italian. The school has been pushed in recent years to eschew more classic languages like French and Latin in favor of more practical ones like Chinese (which is now offered). In the 2014–2015 school year, Spanish, French, Latin and Chinese are offered. In the 2005–2006 school year, Ancient Greek was taught for the first time, as an independent study. Students also have the opportunity to take Syracuse University Project Advance courses in Earth Systems and Forensic Science. Students also have the opportunity to take Marketing and Business & Personal Law for college credit from Mercy College. As of 2013, Greeley has two sister schools in China: Beijing National Day School and Shanghai Yanjing High School and is offering an exchange program for students interested in traveling to China.
