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.

Even though this middle school is old it has a lot of great memories and everyone I meet here was very nice and probably the best middle school in Pawtucket for education and safety. They really know how to handle these situations because one time a girl had passed out then they saved the girl and also the school recently got flooded and they also managed that well. I think the only thing you're probably gonna hate is the rules but that's how it is in every school in this country. This is my perspective and please do not go to slater very horrible come here or jenks

In my opinion, Lyman B. Goff Middle School does not always treat students fairly. Many students feel that some situations are handled differently depending on who is involved. This can make students feel frustrated and unheard when they believe their side of the story is not being considered.Another...

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.
