Throughout my 4 years at Goffstown High School, my experiences have been pretty good and I do not believe they need to change anything immediately. I had a great time participating in sports at this school and the classes and teachers are good.

The best part of Goffstown is the academic and athletic support for students. Food could be a little better and bathrooms outdoors, rather than portapotties.

The support provided by the teachers and staff is invaluable. There is a large and diverse option for both sports and clubs. Students are heavily encouraged to participate in the school environment and most important the principle and staff are always accessible and visible.

The principal knows what is going on in the building and the guidance counselors and teachers care about individual students. This is a great school that saved my son from maybe hating school (in Manchester before transferring here). He is at UNH now and very well prepared. Thank you GHS!
