Great school - very happy to be a part of this community.

I went to Goshen for six years. It is safe to say, that the school is way beyond its ratings. They provide an amazing learning experience for all grades. Most of the teachers are very kind to their students, and I consistently felt motivated to learn. The school is very safe, especially with the option to become a safety patrol in 5th grade. The classrooms were always set up for efficient learning. Students with disabilities always received the support and care they needed. The counselor was always kind and cared for all students. The PTA (Parent Teacher Association) also allowed parents and families to connect with teachers, which was a good way to keep in touch with what students were learning. The only thing that concerned me was ELA, since the curriculum changed a lot, but I'd assume it's for the better. Great school, would definitely recommend! :)

From the administration and the children at this school. I wouldn’t recommend this school to an enemy. I have witnessed staff speak to children in a demeaning manor, tell students they are going to get them in trouble with their parents and that they are a bad kid. If they do that in front of other adults, can you imagine what they do when alone with your child? Children at this school aren’t held accountable and it’s always an excuse. Child here anre bullies, use physical contact first, very little is done by staff, student get away with murder, student are forced to have restorative conversations even when someone gets physical and both are forced to apologize. Continuing a cycle of violence and abuse with zero consequences and then wonder why the cycle continues. Although I haven’t come across a lot of amazing teachers I will say there are a few. Both of my children have expressed that a lot of the specials teachers are mean (media, music), shout a lot and are not liked. I have heard students at the park across the street say all their teachers do is yell and shout etc. I hear parents asking other kids about being picked on and bullying. That is what this school enables and cultivates. The fish rots from the head and both the principal and asst principal cover for each other, full of excuses and after several interactions are untrustworthy.

We moved our kids from public school to MOG this year due to pandemic. The best decision made. We are so happy with the challenging curriculum and how amazing everyone is. Its a night and day from the school we came from.
