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.

The school, in general, is bad but the teachers try their best with what they have. It isn't really their fault students just generally give up on education and the public school system kinda sucks. I personally had the average experience someone has at a public school in a low-income area.

Having spent two years at Goff the teachers and the programs are very good, especially the music department. The school is kind of run down and some of the teachers might not teach as well as others, but the principal and teachers always work hard to bring a satisfactory experience to the students....

Honestly looking back I probably would have sent my child to Slater.

The teachers and staff are very vested in the children. Communication is excellent. Principal appears to be on top of everything.
