Gobles Public School District

The Gobles Public School District consists of three schools: Gobles Elementary School, Gobles High School, and Gobles Virtual Academy. The district serves students from elementary through high school, with the virtual academy providing an online learning option.

Among the three schools, Gobles Elementary School stands out with its relatively high academic performance, consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the high school. Gobles High School has seen improvements, with its SchoolDigger rating increasing from 3 to 4 stars over the past three years, and strong performance on SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. However, Gobles Virtual Academy faces significant challenges, including much lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism.

Across the district, there are equity considerations, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and varying racial/ethnic compositions among the schools. The resource allocation also varies, with Gobles High School having the highest per-student spending and Gobles Virtual Academy having the lowest. These disparities highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Gobles Public School District.
