Summary:
Schools in Goddard include 12 schools: five elementary, four middle, two high schools and one alternative school, serving grades K–12. In 2025–26, the average school result was above the Kansas average in all three reported subjects: 6 points higher in English language arts (ELA), 2 points higher in math and 5 points higher in science. The most important takeaway is that those area-wide advantages hide wide differences among schools.
Apollo Elementary School is the clearest academic standout, leading all 12 schools in ELA at 78% and math at 65%; those results are 32 and 24 points above the state, respectively. Its ELA score is 28 points higher than the average of the other schools, and its math score is 23 points higher. Discovery Intermediate School leads in science at 53%, compared with 38% statewide. At the lower end, Goddard Virtual School has the lowest ELA and math results, 25% and 21%; it enrolls 29 students, so it is not a like-for-like comparison with conventional schools. Among conventional schools, Goddard Middle School is below the state in ELA, math and science by 5, 8 and 5 points. SchoolDigger ranks Apollo at the 95th percentile among Kansas elementary schools and Clark Davidson Elementary at the 29th.
Recent trends are mixed: the average ELA result rose 2 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the math average fell 1 point as the state average rose, narrowing the schools’ average advantage from 6 points to 2. Individual results varied: ELA rose 21 points at Eisenhower High School, but fell 8 points at Clark Davidson; math rose 6 points at Challenger Intermediate School and fell 12 at Clark Davidson. For a like-grade high-school comparison, Eisenhower was ahead of Goddard High by 13 points in 10th-grade ELA and 18 in math. These figures offer useful comparisons, but test results alone do not explain why schools differ.
