GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part of Goffstown is the academic and athletic support for students. Food could be a little better and bathrooms outdoors, rather than portapotties.

Goffstown High School has given me so many opportunities to learn and grow. I have felt supported and even with the bumps in the road, there have always been people there to help!

Well, as with any school, you'll have good and bad teachers and good/bad admin. I found that in Goffstown, it really typically falls on the better end of the spectrum. Some of the most amazing teachers that I have ever met work at Goffstown Highschool and I think it was a privilege to be able to attend.

The support provided by the teachers and staff is invaluable. There is a large and diverse option for both sports and clubs. Students are heavily encouraged to participate in the school environment and most important the principle and staff are always accessible and visible.

The school fosters excellence in the arts and academics. Student scores in all areas are above average and some have been near the top in state testing. The art program is outstanding. Sports are OK. They have a wonderful and caring staff who really know their students. The town needs to do a better...

The principal knows what is going on in the building and the guidance counselors and teachers care about individual students. This is a great school that saved my son from maybe hating school (in Manchester before transferring here). He is at UNH now and very well prepared. Thank you GHS!
