Summary:

Combined enrollment is 275 students, and there is no separate middle school or alternative school, so middle-grade results appear within the secondary school's data.
Both schools are rated 1 star, and the district ranks 377 out of 458 in Minnesota, in the 18th percentile. Goodridge Elementary shows its brightest results in the early grades: 3rd grade math is 68.4% proficient, about 10.5 points above the state's 57.9%, and 3rd grade reading is 50% versus the state's 46.8%. Those gains fade quickly — 5th grade math is 13.6% against 41.9% statewide, and 6th grade math is 6.3% against 39.5%. Science is a weak spot: all-grade science is 4.5% versus the state's 25.5%. All-grade math is 34.7% and reading is 35.5%, both above the district but below the state.
Goodridge Secondary graduates 92.3% of students, above the state's 84.9%, though its dropout rate of 7.6% is also above the state's 4.2%. Academics lag: all-grade math is 14.5% versus 44.9% statewide, 11th grade math is 5.3% versus 35.3%, and all-grade reading is 30.2% versus 48.6%. Science is the district's biggest concern, from 0% in 8th grade science against 16.7% statewide to 25% on End of Course science against 35%. Families should weigh the strong graduation rate against clear needs in math and science.
