I attended this school all 4 years of high school and I have to say, I am one of many students who…read moreare not "college and career ready" like the school slogan states. I mainly put the blame on the admin team. For starters, they haven't got a clue of what they're supposed to be doing, and it shows in their faces. They are always worried about the wrong things. They are extremely inconsistent and sloppy; this showed specifically during our advisory classes when we were supposed to learn things about adulthood/college & career readiness. Most of the time, our teacher had not the slightest clue of what was supposed to be happening. Many other students who I've spoken to have stated the same. Not only that, they treat not just students, but other people as well (myself included) with the upmost disrespect. Security is even worse. I understand that school safety measures must be taken in order to sustain a safe learning environment. However, it is almost prison-like how they treat it. I personally could hardly ever go to the bathroom without being stopped by a security guard. Not to mention they treat the students with no respect whatsoever. Security has even stopped me from going back to class whether I was coming back from the bathroom or coming from the office. To add on, if students are forced to stay after hours, I've found that security kicks them outside; no matter the weather. It is quite obvious to see that that could very well be an endangerment to someone's life; especially if it's 100+ degrees outside. I would like to state however, that the teachers at this school are phenomenal. Out of all the teachers I had over the years, every single one of them inspired me to be a better learner. Their empowerment keeps me going through college even today. The admin team however, does not set these teachers up for success. Information sent throughout the school is from what I've experienced, vague and unclear. So, if you are new to the area and you're looking at schools for your student, do not send them here. Verrado High School should be the last option on your list of schools to send your child. I would even consider sending my child somewhere else. This school is a terrible place, and I don't see it changing anytime in the near future.

The gals in the office are always kind to us when we come in to drop off items for the students. I like how I see the staff interacting with the students while out and about.

Like any school there still will be bullies, drugs and other obstacles, but they police and security daily. They also offer after school tutoring when students are falling behind in school work or having a hard time catching on.

So far roaches seem to not bother the staff as they just walk over them and say "there's nothing we…read morecan do". Crossing guards do not even attempt to walk your kids safely across the road and a 15yr old girl was struck by a car. There is no dress code as stomachs, thongs, booty shorts, and side boobs seem to be the norm. Kids apparently make out all the time as well. Someone gave my child what she thought was candy and ended up passing out because it was drugs. She passed out in the office and no one could find her. There are some great teachers that genuinely do care and try to help the students. There really isn't any system of organization when it comes to the front office.

I will preface this with 0 stars!!…read more My child has attended this campus for three years and while there have been minimal issues the last two years. This year has by far been horrendous! The staff and administration present as if they thrive off parent involvement and accountability when in actuality they want the students to simply know the answers and test high, with no interaction from parents and when parents step in to seek guidance, support or clarification and attempt to hold staff and administration accountable they find any reason they can to paint the parent as the issue. Not only have I filed a police report against a teacher this year, I am now on my THIRD formal complaint with the board, have pulled my child and will be moving forward with legal steps. If you are an active, involved, and communicative parent this school will not be supportive. They focus on high score students and if your child begins to struggle in any capacity.. well it's up to your child to figure it out because 9 year olds are expected to be independent with their academic career. All while the administration allows for staff to intimidate, harass, bully, and use bias towards youth.

My daughter has been attending for almost a year now, since she turned one last April, and the growth I have seen in her has been incredible. She is happy when she walks in, she is learning so much, and she is genuinely thriving in every way. From day one, we felt so welcomed. The staff made the transition smooth with their warmth, communication, and care, and it quickly felt like a place where my daughter truly belongs. A special thank you to Ms. Erma. The love, patience, and attention you give her every day means so much to me. I can see how comfortable and safe she feels with you, and I am so grateful for the role you have played in her growth and confidence. To the entire team, thank you for everything you do. You have created such a positive, nurturing environment where children are supported, encouraged, and excited to learn. I am beyond thankful for the experience we have had here and would highly recommend The Goddard School in Verrado to any parent looking for a place where their child will truly thrive.

We have infant twins at the moment, and once there is an opening to accommodate them, we will be heading right back to this Goddard School location.

It is so nice to get together with like-minded parents that just want a place where their kids can play and explore. You yourself get a chance to be in the classroom and help out, play and see all of your kids' friends interact. Soon you will be getting your feet in the sand yard, going to parent meetings where the teachers will give you tips on how to calm your child during a meltdown, and you will talk to other parents and see that you're not alone. Some examples of community that I can think of during our time are the parent meetings, potluck events, a camping trip, and events at school where everyone is welcome for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. When we had our second child, and EECP knew we were finally home, we got a few gifts delivered for our new baby, but also a couple of big brother gifts and books from the school. When I'm at work and I get some photos sent to our parent group message board of what the kids are doing that day, it makes you wish you were at school that day instead of sitting behind a desk. Those are the times I know that we got lucky to find the EECP and other involved parents and teachers. One other thing I remembered that I enjoy is the stuff that our kiddo brings home. It is not just paintings that will soon be on your fridge or decorated shoe boxes, but also stories and music. Our 3-year-old would come home from school and teach me about Mardi Gras. He insisted on Mardi Gras songs being played in our home. He enjoyed dancing and marching and was explaining how parades worked, as if I had no idea what one was. It was so much fun to finally go to school and see all the kids parade around in fun costumes and carry around little decorated shoe boxes they made in class. This is just one of the events that we've loved as a family and now as a community.
