Goodwill High

Summary:

Goodwill High is a small public high school in Victorville, California, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 108. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled, performing poorly on standardized tests, with low graduation rates and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism compared to the district and state averages.

Goodwill High's academic performance is a major concern, with 0% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments, while the district and state averages are significantly higher. The school also has a concerning trend in its graduation and dropout rates, with an 88.3% four-year graduation rate and a 60% dropout rate in the 2019-2020 school year. Additionally, Goodwill High has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 98% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Goodwill High to other nearby schools within the same Victor Valley Union High School District, such as Cobalt Institute of Math and Science and Lakeview Leadership Academy, the performance gap is quite significant. These schools consistently outperform Goodwill High on academic measures, graduation rates, and attendance. The high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic achievement at Goodwill High suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support are needed to address these issues.

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.
