I would not recommend this school, when I was in 6th grade, (I'm in 8th grade now), lots of drama and fights happened and this girl got punched in the face by this other girl and the girl who punched her in the face didn't get suspended or anything, they just let it be, and I got bullied the whole year in 6th grade, I filled out so many reports and did everything but they never did anything, and the 6th grade teachers are mostly racist or see things from their point of view. In 7th grade all I did was get bullied too, they didn't do anything expect make me talk to the girl we had a counseling discussion, that next day after 5th period my science, I was walking down to 6th period and she came up to me and was saying mean things and there was a whole crowd around and she start beating me up and I got jumped, and yes they did keep me in counseling after but after that the whole school hated me, rumors went around about me and the school did nothing to stop in, finally yes the grade i'm in (8th grade) it all stopped, but if there's drama with 4 people with one person they will think the people are teaming up against that one person even if they start it, now there's an issue happening this school where this 7th grade boy took inappropriate pictures of a girl outside and inside of class, I have screenshots too, and the school is defending him, this also happened before where a boy took pictures of a girl inside the girl's locker room.

horrible principal she’ll never change the school

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! :)
