School Reviews

1   9/14/2020
The principal at this school is terrible and does *nothing* to address constant bullying and misbehavior by students. There's also extremely disorganization throughout the building, and the test scores are terrible. Steer clear of this abysmal school!
- Posted by Student/Alumni - Goodwin is the worst!
