Overall I enjoy going to Goffstown High School. The academics fit my needs, especially compared to other schools around me. It usually is a good environment to go to, and I haven't hated my time there.

Goffstown High School has been a great place for me over my 4 years of high school. The school has great administrative facilities and I couldn't be more ready for college. I do believe the school should invest more into their business and marketing education involvement.

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!
