This school district has dilapidated playground equipment at every school and buildings are out of date and need many extensive repairs but the school has been awarded tax payer money year after year and no results have been shown there is no accountability to the school board at all pays attention to the students of trustee members township employees such as police and firefighters and the school employees if you aren’t one of those your children will suffer. Even if you have money your children will still be pushed to the side as unimportant so many kids fall through the cracks at this school it’s absolutely horrible they have the bare minimum of after school programs and the township doesn’t reinvest into the community the only park in the township was donated and they don’t support any boys and girls club these children have nothing to do after school

This is not the best school system for my children. It may be for parents who know certain people on a personal level at the school, but not me. Although my family has a history at Goshen, I do not. No diversity exists within Goshen's administration or faculty. I do believe Blacks are able to Substitute teach, but I do not know that a full time teaching position has been offered. I do not recall any Black person holding a position, except in the Athletic's department. Please correct me if I am mistaken. I find a problem with this as a parent who grew up in an all white school district, but yet I still had Black faculty members over 30 years ago. Separation is wrong on all levels, but when different learning levels are involved there should be a line drawn. So excuse you, to the parent with the child who has the learning disability. Special classes are set up for your child. Children with learning disabilities should not be excluded from class if they excel in a subject.. He/she should be able to be included in that classroom. I send my child to school with the expectation of getting the best education, athletic coaching, & opportunity for the future. I hope this place improves.

goshen schools are terrible. the teachers are fine but the lack of niceness from the assistant principle is very aggravating.

I am saddened by the parent who is "not a big fan" of mainstreaming children with special needs. Clearly this person is not aware that inclusion of all students helps both children with special needs and their typical peers. This allows those with disabilities to learn appropriate social skills and academic learning that they need to be contributing members of their communities some day, and their typical peers learn acceptance and also cement new skills they have just learned by helping those who may be struggling. As a mother with a baby girl with down syndrome looking to move to goshen I hope most parents don't think like you do. But I am glad that Goshen strives to help all students acheive and does not believe those that are different should be locked away so those that are uncomfortable with things they don't understand feel safe from their own ignorance.

I have one child in the GMS and one who has went through GMS, currently at GHS. I have always been happy with all teachers and the modifications my children recevied for there learning disabilities. However, I am afraid things are shifting for the worse. The zero tolerance rules and no child left behind joke is putting too much stress on the teachers. I have had a heck of a time getting assignments posted on the web timely so I know current grades, ect. They have no time to help the slower learning students and manage a class size so big. This is the first year I am looking at alternatives to GMS. I still have one more child to pass through . I am also not a big fan of the special ed children becoming so included into main stream education and the school is really pushing this too.
