Goodrich Middle School

Summary:

Goodrich Middle School is a public middle school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 877 students in grades 6-8. While part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 130 out of 182 districts in the state, Goodrich Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools over the past several years.

Goodrich Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, with students consistently underperforming compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 31.87% to 46.1%, compared to the district scores of 57.1% to 63.4% and the state scores of 58.3% to 62.77%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 35.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Goodrich Middle School to nearby middle schools in the Lincoln Public Schools district, it becomes clear that Goodrich is one of the lower-performing schools. Schools like Pound Middle School, Lefler Middle School, and Mickle Middle School consistently outperform Goodrich in academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the challenges associated with this may be contributing factors to its overall academic underperformance.

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.
