Summary:

Goshen Community Schools is an Indiana district serving 6,242 students across 10 schools — six elementary, two middle, one high school, and one alternative program — in a community where roughly 67% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The district ranks 237th of 374 Indiana districts (37th percentile, 2 stars), and its overall numbers trail the state: chronic absenteeism is 22.0% versus 16.7%, graduation is 83.1% versus 89.7%, and proficiency is 35.38% in ELA, 40.04% in math, and 28.83% in science. Individual schools, however, vary widely from those averages.

Chamberlain Elementary School is the academic standout, with the district's highest math proficiency (50.98%) and science proficiency (47.13%), a 3-star rating, and 54th percentile rank — even though it has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 80.12%. Goshen Junior High School ranks 181/486 (63rd percentile, 3 stars), with 8th-grade math at 43.54% and absenteeism of 16.0%, below the state. Parkside Elementary School showed the biggest gains, up 10.25 points in ELA and 10.72 in science, while Model Elementary School has the lowest absenteeism at 9.8% and Prairie View Elementary School the second-highest math score at 48.28%. All six elementaries beat the district math average, which is about 47.1%. Goshen High School improved to 51st percentile and 3 stars, with graduation at 89.4%, close to the state.

Concerns include Chandler Innovation Academy, an alternative school serving a different population, which reports a 14.8% graduation rate and 0% ELA and math proficiency. Goshen Intermediate School falls below the district in math and science, and West Goshen Elementary School has a severe science weakness at 16.07%. Waterford Elementary School saw science drop 17.49 points. Spending ranges from $11,378 to $14,413 per pupil with no clear link to results.
