In March 2016, it was announced that Greenview Secondary are part of the 11 schools that will merge due to less intake of students. This school will be closed down in 2018 and merged with Loyang Secondary School.[1]

In 2002 Greenview was featured in a Radio Television Hong Kong documentary about home-school-community collaborations. Despite its academically-average student intake, the school did well on the national level, winning the Sustained Achievement Award (out of 12 schools nationwide) as well as two Achievement Awards in the Ministry of Education's annual Masterplan of Awards in 2005. It took the Sustained Achievement Award for the first time in 2004.[citation needed]
