GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Godwin Heights High School is a good school. They do a lot to prepare us for college and teachers do a good job motivating students to do well in school. I have been going to Godwin Public School since 1st grade and when I moved, I had to come back for my high school years.
