Goodrich Elementary

Summary:

Goodrich Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving around 300 students in grades PK-5. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with concerning performance across key metrics.

Goodrich Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well below-average test scores, and a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.57% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the statewide average of 52.07%. When compared to nearby schools like Stuart Elementary, Goodrich consistently underperforms across the board. Despite the poor performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, raising questions about the effective use of resources.

Goodrich Elementary's struggles are not new, as the school has been a low-performing institution for many years with little to no improvement over time. This suggests the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of these issues and provide better educational opportunities for its students. With the school's high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and concerning performance for subgroups like special education students, there is a clear need for targeted interventions and support to help these students succeed.

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.
