Elementary Schools in Gooding Joint District

Summary:

The Gooding Joint District in Idaho has only one elementary school, Gooding Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 489 students. The school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores and other key metrics, is consistently below the state average for Idaho, suggesting the school may be struggling to meet the academic needs of its students.

Gooding Elementary School is ranked 249 out of 337 Idaho elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in math, science, and English Language Arts are all below the state average, with the exception of 5th grade ELA, which is above average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (54.81%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high poverty rate among the student population.

These factors suggest that Gooding Elementary School may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and overall school quality. The school's declining statewide ranking and low SchoolDigger rating are concerning and may be of interest to parents and the local community as they consider educational options for their children.
