My child has been at Gooden since kindergarten, and it has proven to be a home away from home for them. As an only child, Gooden has become a place where classmates are like siblings. My child is known and cared for by loving and caring staff the teachers Are positive influences in their life. My child wants to stay at Gooden until eighth grade and feels that is the right school for them.
