Summary:
The Goodwin University Educational Services (GUES) district in Connecticut operates two schools: Connecticut River Academy at Goodwin University, a high school, and Riverside Magnet School at Goodwin University, an elementary school. Both schools serve a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population, with over 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, the GUES schools are underperforming compared to state averages. Both schools have low statewide rankings, with Connecticut River Academy ranked 139 out of 145 Connecticut high schools and Riverside Magnet School ranked 454 out of 497 Connecticut elementary schools. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below state averages across all grade levels.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the GUES schools are struggling to provide high-quality education to their students. The district's leadership and stakeholders should prioritize addressing the low academic performance, equity issues, and overall district management to improve outcomes for the students in the Goodwin University Educational Services district.
