Summary:
The Goddard school district in Kansas is home to four middle schools serving grades 6-8: Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School, Discovery Intermediate School, Goddard Middle School, and Challenger Intermediate School. These schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School standing out as the top performer in the district.
Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School consistently ranks among the top 26 middle schools in Kansas, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that exceed the Goddard and state averages. In contrast, Goddard Middle School lags behind, with significantly lower proficiency rates across all subjects. The two intermediate schools, Discovery Intermediate School and Challenger Intermediate School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, often exceeding the district and state averages.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all four middle schools in Goddard, with a rate of 19.5% for the 2024-2025 school year, higher than the state average. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic factors, such as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and academic performance, with the schools serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower proficiency rates.
