The school is a wounderful place for the children to attend. My oldest son is in 5th grade and the school criteria are getting them ready for the middle school. In 4th grade they started out with lockers and switching with 3 teachers instead of 2. This year you switch in every subject and you loose demerates if you forget your homework or act up, just like if you was in middle school. Excellent preparation. The teachers and the rest of the staff helps all the children in every way needed. Everyone at this school is excellent with the students.

Goodview is a wonderful school. The principal and vice principal are very visible and accessible. It's obvious that Mr. Zimmerman, the principal, worked hard to assemble an excellent teaching staff, as the teachers and staff are very dedicated and caring. We love Goodview!
