I have had nothing but frustration for this school. My son's have done the worst they have ever done in school, since starting at Goddard. They both have been struggling and it seems that the school administrators and teachers only concern is that they do not want to deal with them and would like them to go to another school. Both of my son's have asked for help on an assignment and were both told by different teachers that they should know this and just get it done. I have never seen a school show absolutely no concern as to what the child is dealing with. As long as the child just does his work and has no out of the ordinary issue they will do great at Goddard. If they have any problems at home or anything that might give them a rough time in school then they are not welcome at Goddard Middle School. It is very sad. Close Quote

This is NOT a good school. My daughter's grade have been continually slipping, but through very little fault of her own thanks to unclear instructions and obvious favoritism in the classroom. Bullying is ignored by the current administration and for the Choir concert I was shocked when they performed a popular song about drinking and going out to clubs. I did not consider this appropriate at all for Eight graders. I am removing my daughter from this school as soon as the term ends due to its poor performance, poor teachers, and even worse behavior towards their students. I have never had my daughter in such a obviously poor school before, I would never recommend this school for anyone. Close Quote
