Best Public Schools in Goddard, KS

Summary:

The city of Goddard, Kansas is home to 12 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 5 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The Goddard school district as a whole performs better than the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels.

Several schools in Goddard stand out as top performers, including Apollo Elementary School, which ranked 53rd out of 653 Kansas elementary schools and received a 5-star rating. This school had the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to other Goddard schools and the state average. Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School and Eisenhower High School also stood out, ranking 66th and 63rd in their respective categories and receiving 4-star ratings, with strong proficiency rates across core subjects.

While the Goddard school district overall performs well, there is some variation in performance, particularly at the middle school level. The data suggests a potential correlation between lower free and reduced lunch rates and higher academic performance, though further analysis would be needed to establish a causal relationship. Additionally, the data does not show a clear link between higher spending per student and better performance, indicating that the way resources are allocated and utilized may be more important than the overall spending level.
