I personally haven't been in person in Godwin, and I'm also a student of specialty center here. I think Godwin is a great school that has opportunities for everyone. The teachers here create a very open and comfortable environment for students. Godwin also has various clubs, and some that I'm part of are Model UN, Medical Club, and Equity Club. Model UN is an amazing club for students who like public speaking or who want to get better at it. We attend conferences where we advocate for the position assigned to us. Medical Club is also amazing. We have opportunities to volunteer and help local organizations, and we also listen to medical professionals talk about careers and various things happening to us related to medicine. An exciting speaker we had was a member of Phizer, who talked about vaccine productions. Equity Club is an important club that involves discussing social problems. This club has helped me very much as a POC.
I rated Godwin High School as a 3 star school because there are some good aspects, but also some bad aspects. As I look into the good aspects like the diversity of the school, the friendships created, the sense of belonging. You also can't help but look at the bad stuff like some of the teachers treating an honors levels course like an AP with 3-4 homework assignments a class, or just the lack of windows and openness makes it feel a lot like a jail and you are trapped inside. Our school spirit on the other hand is very diverse and inclusive, and with many clubs floating around Godwin you always have a place where you belong with other people who share the same interests as you.
The building is very old, there aren't many windows and overall it feels more like a prison than a place to learn. Most of the above-average teachers are only available to center students and there are only a handful of gems outside of the center teachers. Most teachers aside from the gems don't really care about the students or their grades they only care about getting the workout and grading that work. The music program is good but the recent choir teacher retired and is now replaced by someone with not as much pull or experience. Most sports teams other than the soccer and tennis teams are average or below. The school culture is nice and most people seem friendly and together as a collective unit. There haven't been any safety issues other than some threats and vandalism. Diversity is very low most of the school is white or Asian, there is a tiny sprinkle of any other race on the side.
