I do not agree with this school, on what my daughter is telling me. She said that "The Blue Team" is treated better than the Red Team. If that is not true she says to check on how they treat on Field Trips. It is despicable truthfully.

I do not agree with what your daughter claims. I beleive what you put into the school is what you get out of it.
I beleive the parents need to be respectful and their children will do the same.

This school is nothing compared to the other schools in Pawtucket. Its a shame to see the Silver Team being treated better then my son's team, the Gold Team. Half of the teachers are extremely rude and obnoxious. My son often comes home with bruises, stating that he was bullied by the Silver Team. it's Ridculous.

this school's teachers are some of the best ive ever had. the only problem with this school is the students have no respect for the teachers of their fellow students.

This is a good school! I can not wait to go there this year! I know former students who did go to Goff and loved it! However, I haven't gone to Goff yet so I'm not quite sure, but I have a feeling I know where my opinion will take place!

So far, I think the school is doing great. It has allot of activities for the kids to participate in. Adding more teachers was fabulous.

I am going to be a new student at Goff Junior high in less thanm 2 weeks. Some of these reviews are a bit shaky and make me a little tense, but then some sound like its a great school. I am hoping that it will be what it is telling in its home page review.

I went to both Goff Jr High and then graduated from the high school not too long ago. True, these schools may have a lot of ignorant students. What it comes down to is your child gets out what they put in. There are some unbelievable talented teachers at these schools who are willing to work with your child and see to it that they succeed. There are plenty of after school activities and sports. Your child and you as a parent can't expect to be spoon fed these opportunities however. The teachers care about all their students, but they will care even more if your child cares. Graduates from my class went on to ivy league colleges and other top universities throughout new england and the country. They were first graduates of Goff Jr. High! Criticize and question your child first and not their classmates, teachers, and school.

I love, love, LOVE this school. My teachers were wonderful, kind, and understanding. They were always willing to hear me out and there when I had problems. True, some kids can give you a hard time, but hey what school doesn't have their fare share of bullies? I was made the butt of some jokes, too. But you have to learn that life does throw rocks at you sometimes (yes, kids, even AFTER you leave school for good) and just shake the dust off your shoulders. Life goes on, you know? I loved this school and as a parent now myself, I wouldn't think twice about sending my daughter here. Goff, I miss and love you! Good luck future Goff kids!

i dont know what any of you parents are talking about but goff is THE BEST school. None of the teams get treated differently!!!! If u want to see for yourself than go...and don't say that the gold team gets treated better because they went on anout 2 field trips a month when the silver team went on about 2 the whole year. So dont say things when they arent true

My son enjoys going to school. He has no problems with the other students, other teams. He's happy with the way the teams are treated, he's on the red team.

I recently move to the area the teachers seem very hostile toward the children when they talking to them. i teach my children to respect but they don't need to be talk to like dogs. Teacher are there to teach and help with what they don't understand not break them down
