I really enjoyed Godwin. I got to do theater, magic tricks during lunch and make new friends. The downside were the pep rallies and lunch. The lunch was disappointing. It all tasted bland, dry and some foods were wet when they're not supposed to be wet. The pep rallies were boring because not many people were cheering, the seniors won every single one and the games were boring.

Godwin has been a great school for me. The teachers are always willing to go the extra mile to help students and the school culture is amazing.

It is not a very diverse school and some of the teachers were not the best at helping their students understand the material. On the other hand, I made some great friends and some of my other teachers were very helpful and were amazing in and out of the classroom. Those people made my high school years and really helped me grow into the person I am.

Horrible help for students, teachers are extremely rude to parents and students, the food they serve is terrible, they don't care about students mental health or wellbeing and the principal doesn't stand with the students when a teacher does wrong.
