Goodridge Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.62%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Red Lake County Central Elementary and Challenger Elementary. Academically, the school's performance on MCA-III tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in Math (39.24%), Reading (39.24%), and Science (27.27%) all lower than the state. The school's white students, in particular, perform significantly worse than the state average, ranking 690 out of 730 Minnesota elementary schools.

Goodridge Elementary's academic performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 343 out of 848 in 2015-2016 to 625 out of 881 in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and suggests the school may need to implement strategies to improve student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (61.74%) suggests that Goodridge Elementary serves a relatively disadvantaged population, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Red Lake County Central Elementary and Challenger Elementary.

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.
