The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I liked that many teachers were willing to help me. But I was helped because I reached out for it. Not all teachers at the time when I attended would be eager to help students if they weren't asking for it

My name is Lovens Paul I am a junior at Goldsboro high. It's a great school , I like it for his teaching skill and the greeting of the students . Many people think that It is a bad school for the behavior of some students ,but its not true .Like all school It has a good and a bad side , the students know each other ,and they are very nice and helpful to everyone . The teachers really want you to succeed . If there is one thing that I would to be changed at Goldsboro High ,It would be the diversity of the school and more academic program .
