Goodland Junior-Senior High School

Summary:

Goodland Junior-Senior High School is a public high school located in Goodland, Kansas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 413 students. The school has a long history of performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the years, currently standing at 215 out of 318 Goodland Junior-Senior High School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics, while its performance in Science is slightly better. The school has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 42.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to the nearby Brewster High, the academic performance gap is even more pronounced. Brewster High had significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for the 2022-2023 school year, despite Brewster spending less per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the differences in academic outcomes between the two schools.

The declining performance of Goodland Junior-Senior High School over the years, from a high ranking of 116 in 2014-2015 to its current ranking of 215, is concerning and suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance. Addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds will be crucial in supporting their academic success and improving the overall performance of the school.

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.
