Elementary Schools in Goodwin University Educational Services (GUES)

The Goodwin University Educational Services (GUES) district in Connecticut is home to a single elementary school, Riverside Magnet School at Goodwin University, which serves a diverse student population from prekindergarten through 5th grade. While the school's smaller student-teacher ratio of 11.9 may present an opportunity for more individualized attention, the data reveals that Riverside Magnet School is significantly underperforming academically compared to the state average.

Riverside Magnet School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are well below 50%, with 3rd-grade students scoring just 19.7% and 23% proficient in ELA and Math, respectively, compared to the state averages of 45.9% and 51.3%. The school's performance is also below the Goodwin University Educational Services (GUES) district average, suggesting that the challenges faced by Riverside Magnet School may be reflective of broader district-level issues. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 67.02% of its population receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges.

Despite the smaller class sizes, Riverside Magnet School at Goodwin University is significantly underperforming academically, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in core subjects. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor, and the district-level performance suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students at Riverside Magnet School.
