The Greenwood Laboratory School, a division of Missouri State University, consists of grades kindergarten through seniors in high school. It is located at 1024 E. Harrison. The laboratory school, named after Dr. J. M. Greenwood, Superintendent of the Kansas City Public Schools in the early 1900's, has functioned in several locations. The current facility at the corner of Harrison and Hampton, was finished in 1966.

Greenwood is a member of the Coalition of Essential Schools in Missouri. The teachers use methods where the students play an active role in their education. Rather than just listening to teachers lecture, the students participate in discussions and independent studies where they help decide personal curriculums in studies such as computer science.

As a department within Missouri State's College of Education, Greenwood has an integral role in providing services to University students and faculty. Services provided include demonstration lessons, research opportunities, pre-student teaching experiences, practicum experiences and observation opportunities through specially designed observation rooms with one-way mirrors and sound systems.
