Summary:

Goodridge Secondary is a public high school located in Goodridge, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 114 students. The school is part of the Goodridge Public School District, which is ranked 372 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goodridge Secondary has a predominantly white student population, with 91.23% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools like Northwest Area Learning Center and Lincoln Senior High. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 14.29% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to the state average of 34.99%. However, the school has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate for the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average, and has had a 0% dropout rate during the same period.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as Grygla Secondary, Goodridge Secondary generally performs worse academically, with lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking of 356 out of 480 in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's graduation and dropout rates are better than the nearby schools. The school's relatively low academic performance, high free and reduced-price lunch rates of 40.35%, and declining statewide ranking suggest that Goodridge Secondary may face challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
