Goodhue Public School District

The Goodhue Public School District in Minnesota is home to two schools: Goodhue Elementary and Goodhue Secondary. While both schools serve the Goodhue community, the data reveals that Goodhue Elementary is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goodhue Elementary boasts impressive academic achievements, with significantly higher math, reading, and science proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. The school's student population is also relatively affluent, with a low free and reduced lunch rate of 24.81%. In contrast, Goodhue Secondary appears to be a more average performer, with mixed test scores and proficiency rates below the district and state levels in many subjects.

The data also reveals a notable disparity in student-teacher ratios, with Goodhue Elementary having a lower ratio of 13.8 compared to 17.7 at Goodhue Secondary. Additionally, both schools have a predominantly white student population, which may indicate a lack of diversity within the Goodhue Public School District. Overall, the data suggests that the district should investigate ways to replicate the success of Goodhue Elementary at the secondary level and address any potential equity concerns related to the racial homogeneity of the student population.
