Goode School

Summary:

Goode School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in York, PA, part of the York City School District, which is ranked 572 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goode School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the state and district averages on PSSA assessments, with only 11% of students proficient or better in Math and 15% in English Language Arts. Goode's subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Low Socioeconomic Status, and Disabled students, all rank in the bottom 25-35% of their respective subgroups statewide. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 6.2% to 7.1% in recent years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, Goode School has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-poverty student population.

In contrast, the nearby schools in the York Suburban School District, such as Valley View Elementary and East York Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state averages. This highlights the stark disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes between the two districts. Despite the high spending per student at Goode School, the school has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance or other key metrics over the past several years, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the underlying challenges facing the school and district.

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.
