School Reviews
2 4/9/2015
Hello, I am a sophomore at Godley HS, and I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone's child. The teachers and principals pick favorites (athletes). They self discriminate others students me as well. You'll be resulted in DAEP (alternative school) if you have more than 10 tradys. Which are given easily. I was in TAP (in school suspension) 5 days for tardys. I had permission from a teacher to go was my face in the restroom before the bell, and on my way back to the room the bell rang and the principal Mrs.Brown made me go get a tardy even after I told her I had permission. The attendance is also screwed up. I was checking my skyward and noticed they had marked me absent and gave me an unexcused tardy. Other than that there are some teachers who are really great with kids, but the principal and board need to be changed.
