The Goddard School

Oh my child intelligence is definitely improved at the school because of great teachers, there are a lot of issues with his students who don’t follow rules, threaten other students, bullying, and so forth

We have attended this school since pre-k and we are excited to go back for another year. We have a kiddo with special needs, and the whole school is involved in the best way possible. The Special education team is amazing, we have been working with Mrs Watson( case Manager) and several other team members and we have been very satisfied in the involvement and the integrity they have taken to make sure that my child's needs are met and upheld all year long. the principals- Mrs. Landis and Mr. Yardley are amazing they are always greeting each student by name, they attend the Special education team meetings and have input into the curriculum that they expect their teachers to implement and they do so with the knowledge that they are indeed being implemented. I was told that the principals block certain days to observe in classrooms and have seen it happen while volunteering at the school. The Administration team in the front office is amazing and also know the students and greet them by name. This school is amazing overall Academically,emotionally, and really utilize the resources available to them to implement a safe and educational environment for their family, students and staff.

Iron Horse has been an amazing school for our youngest. The staff is engaged, welcoming, and successful. The school is one of a few I enjoy substitute teaching for as well.

The principal doesnt listen when it comes to bullying or preventing ongoing bullying. My chikd and I were unsupported with several attempts via email to principal to address bullying. Ended up being pushed out and having to relocate schools. Completely the worst experience for a child to go through feeling unheard, unseen and unsupported. Truly awful at best. Base is an absolute joke and the staff are so dang rude to parents and kids. Also very limited base slots so dont count on being allowed in.

In my many years in education, I have worked in several different buildings in DCSD and surrounding areas. The leadership, teachers and staff at Gold Rush are unparalleled. Every member of the Gold Rush family strives to provide the highest level of education to all students. It is an incredibly collaborative, dedicated, and talented staff. GRE truly tailors instruction to the needs of each student, with ample supports and extension opportunities. My own children had the very best experience at Gold Rush and were highly prepared for middle school, with both participating in accelerated coursework. Even more importantly that the academics, the staff makes every student feel connected and capable. The administrators know all students by name and the staff truly sees all students as their students. GRE is truly a gem.
