Summary

Goshen High School is a small rural school in Goshen, AL, serving 356 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of the Pike County district. The school has shown a strong recent rebound, climbing from a 39th-percentile ranking last year to the 49th percentile this year, and its graduation rate has surged to 91.2%—now exceeding the district average and nearly matching the state average. This represents a remarkable 12-point improvement over just two years, making graduation success the school's standout achievement.

Academically, the picture is mixed. Science is a relative strength, with 11th-grade proficiency (32.8%) close to the state average, while upper-grade English is a concern—only 20.6% of 11th graders are proficient versus 33.7% statewide. Math performance is uneven, with 7th and 8th graders well below state averages but 11th graders slightly ahead of the district. Chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge at 20.1%, nearly double the state rate, which likely impacts learning across all subjects. The school also faces equity gaps, with notable declines in performance for some student subgroups in recent years, even as overall metrics improve.

Compared to nearby Pike County High School, Goshen ranks higher overall (49th vs. 33rd percentile), boasts a better graduation rate (91.2% vs. 84.8%), and serves fewer economically disadvantaged students. Against Charles Henderson High School in the Troy City district, Goshen is slightly behind overall (49th vs. 57th percentile) but matches its graduation rate and actually edges ahead in 11th-grade math—despite spending more per student ($11,387 vs. $9,746). With a favorable 14.2:1 student-teacher ratio and improving graduation momentum, Goshen is a school in transition, showing promise while still working to close persistent achievement and attendance gaps.
