Read what parents are saying about Goshen Elementary SchoolThe majority of the teachers are amazing!!! Wonderful school to send your children!
Posted by a parent on 10/28/2016Our first son is currently in his last year at Goshen and he has loved it. The teachers are wonderful and seem to really care about their students and the education they receive. The school leadership has also been very proactive and seem very invested in making sure everyone has a good experience. We specifically moved to this area to be in the Edwardsville School District and we haven't regretted it for a moment!
Posted by a parent on 2/19/2016We love Goshen. The teachers are amazing and the facility is top notch. I can't imagine even a private school being this good.
Posted by a parent on 6/30/2014I have a child with an IEP in this school. The school wants to put him in full time special ed. We are opposed to this as we feel it would hinder his development. He is capable of more than they are able to bring out of him at this time. He's a great kid and deserves better than to sit in a special ed class all day and be treated like a baby instead of nurturing his potential and challenging him to become more independent and successful. I am just disappointed that the school is so forceful with their desire to put him to the side so they don't have to work with him and challenge themselves to bring my little guy up. I initially thought the school was neat, but this experience has really put a damper on the good feeling I had for it. I don't know if it has anything to do with the race of my child, but we get the feeling that children of the majority race with similar situations aren't being pushed to the back burner.
Posted by a parent on 1/9/2013I love Goshen Elementary! I am the parent of a child with a learning disability and since he started attending this school he has made great strides. All the teachers are wonderful and very caring. I couldn t be happier.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average1) How they treat kids with disabilities is completely unacceptable. I could write a book on this, but I won’t. 2) Parents are constantly asked for money but you are not included in anything unless you are part of the “clique.”3) Communication is severely lacking.Parent Review6mo ago - Gateway Legacy Christian Academy

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers, for the most part, are really unfriendly here, except for a few exceptional ones. They don't go the extra mile to help students who are struggling on some material to round them out before moving on, or offer opportunity to correct/learn for the mistakes for some half credit to help redeem the situation. One teacher personally admitted they cram several subjects in just to make it all work administratively, forget what it means to a child trying to learn a lot of material that just thrown at them so the teacher can say they covered it. There is a lot of homework assigned in several of the grades/teachers while some other grades/teachers have little to none. Very inconsistent homework policy here. For the grades that load up the homework - typically 3 to 5 subjects of homework every night so expect at least 2 to 4 hours of homework every day with the average leaning more towards the 3 hours mark. Don't be sick day or you'll be buried in homework. Paper Tests galore like its the 90's - they have no creativity to evaluate the students here outside of an examination. There is no science fair here. Band - some of the teachers are talking bad things about the band staff and being very difficult with them to get a concert which is killing off this art form at the school. Seriously - they can't even get along with each other here and are way too tight on things that have nothing to do with anything. The teamwork that the teachers want to have with parents in the learning process is very lacking to non-existent (except those exceptional few teachers). Want to send questions and clarifications to a teacher about a newsletter's content or an assignment several times a week - they get angry you are contacting them too much and see it as a threat to their teaching skill! This school likes to dish out detentions and suspensions like no other instead of taking a more counseling/guiding approach to help the child grow from the situation and working with the parents to aid in that growth. They can't find it in their hearts to be different than an average public school in helping a child change their direction or actions (should it have truly been a wrong action), but default to seek punishment as the sole answer. Sports is King here. The principal doesn't run the show there and must get validation from others, so don't expect him to stand up for anything/decision on his own. Not a great place once the onion layers are peeled. God bless themParent Review5mo ago - Gateway Legacy Christian Academy
