Summary:
The city of Goodridge, Minnesota, is home to two small public schools: Goodridge Elementary and Goodridge Secondary, both serving students in the Goodridge Public School District. Unfortunately, these schools are consistently underperforming, ranking in the bottom 30% of their respective school types in Minnesota.
Goodridge Elementary has a predominantly white student population (92.62%) and is struggling academically, with proficiency rates below 50% in math, reading, and science. Goodridge Secondary is slightly more diverse, with a 91.23% white student population, but it is also underperforming, with proficiency rates well below the state average in core subjects. Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite Goodridge Secondary's 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, these metrics alone do not tell the full story. The schools' consistently low rankings and ratings over the past three years suggest that the academic challenges are persistent and may require significant interventions and improvements to address the systemic issues within the district. The lack of diversity and the socioeconomic factors facing the Goodridge community likely contribute to the schools' struggles, and comprehensive strategies are needed to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.
