Goodwyn Middle School

Summary:

Goodwyn Middle School is a public middle school in Montgomery, Alabama, serving 808 students in grades 6-8, with a predominantly African American student population of 82.92%. The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 110 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goodwyn Middle School consistently performs significantly below the state and county averages in academic assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from just 1.36% to 17.6% across different grade levels and subjects, compared to state averages of 22.06% to 53.32%. This indicates the school is struggling to provide its predominantly low-income student population, with 83.64% to 83.66% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with a quality education. The school's high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 21.2 to 29.8 over the past three years, may also contribute to these academic challenges.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the Montgomery County School District, such as Carr Middle School, which consistently outperforms Goodwyn in academic assessments, the stark differences suggest there may be systemic inequities in the educational opportunities available to students of different racial backgrounds. Additionally, Goodwyn's per-student spending of $7,971 in 2018-2019 was lower than some higher-performing nearby schools, such as Bellingrath Middle School ($11,220 per student) and LEAD Academy Building B ($11,220 per student), which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
