Goddard Middle School

Summary:

Goddard Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Goddard, Kansas, part of the Goddard School District, which is ranked 45th out of 266 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 493 students, Goddard Middle School has historically performed well, ranking in the top 20% of Kansas middle schools in several years.

While Goddard Middle School's test scores are generally above the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, the school has seen a concerning decline in recent years, dropping from over 40% proficiency in 2022-2023 to around 26-27% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male and Hispanic students performing relatively well, but female students, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students struggling, ranking in the bottom half of the state. The school's increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 24.29% in 2021-2022 to 29.82% in 2022-2023, suggests a growing population of economically disadvantaged students that may require additional support.

Compared to nearby schools, Goddard Middle School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School, which is also part of the Goddard School District. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing Maize South Middle School and Maize Middle School, which are in the neighboring Maize School District.

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.
