Green Acres Middle School is a middle school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 945 Pineview Road in the Green Acres neighborhood, for which it is named. It was built in 1956 on land formerly owned by Zula Cofield, who protested the actions by the city to condemn her property. Willie Goldsmith is the current principal.
In 2008 the school underwent extensive renovations. Originally budgeted at $6.5 million, the scope of work was increased to nearly $10 million as the exterior cladding, roofing and air conditioning were all replaced and a new media center was added.
In 2013, under the terms of the Alabama Accountability Act, Green Acres Middle School was deemed a "failing school", permitting parents to claim tax credits to transfer students to another school.
