Summary:
The Gooding Joint District in Idaho has only one middle school, Gooding Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with low proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts. Gooding Middle School has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, now ranking 118th out of 164 Idaho middle schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Gooding Middle School faces several challenges, including a high rate of chronic absenteeism and a large percentage of students (58.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending is also below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the state average, which may be limiting the resources and support available to students.
Overall, the data suggests that Gooding Middle School is a struggling school that is performing well below the state average in academic achievement and other key metrics. Addressing the underlying issues, such as high poverty rates, chronic absenteeism, and limited resources, may be necessary to improve the school's performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
