Goodridge Secondary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota high schools, with rankings ranging from 309 to 392 out of 450-500 schools over the past several years. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, as it has ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota high schools for both female and male students, as well as for white students, over the past few years. While the school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 83.3% and 100% in recent years, with dropout rates ranging from 0% to 5%, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), is significantly below the state averages in both math and reading.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Northwest Area Learning Center, Lincoln Senior High, and Grygla Secondary, Goodridge Secondary generally underperforms in terms of statewide rankings, academic achievement, and other key metrics. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with its peers in the region. Additionally, Goodridge Secondary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.25% to 42.59% in recent years, indicating that the school serves a population with a higher level of economic disadvantage, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed.
