The academics and atmosphere at Godwin are absolutely great! I am a rising senior and have been very pleased with the classes, clubs, and sports that are available to students. As an active member in the Godwin community I can also attest to the AMAZING school spirit at Godwin. The energy at the various school events, including sporting events, talents shows, and dances, is unmatched. My only negative comment about the school would be on the facilities, which are understandably a little bit aged due to the older building. However, despite its age, Godwin has fantastic technology available to teachers and students.
Attending Godwin High School was an overall positive experience. Academically, the school offered relatively small class sizes, knowledgable teachers, and a variety of elective and AP classes that could be taken. The counseling department also provided a substantial amount of help for the college admissions process. The school always felt safe and clean for the most part. The main drawback to Godwin is its age - the building is very old, with narrow hallways that often become cramped with the high student population, low ceilings, and an almost complete lack of windows (which can make it look quite sad at times). However, looking past the building itself, Godwin provided a great high school experience.
In spite of both the good and bad experiences here, Godwin has definitely changed me into a stronger person and provided me with many unforgettable memories. Be it the weekly library gatherings, club events, or other fun activities, the school always offered something more than just academics, which is quite important in enriching a student's school life. However, I personally felt that some teachers unnecessarily made the curriculum quite difficult than other schools, but I do believe that it prepares one for college better.
