Goodman Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-4

Summary

Goodman Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Neosho School District in Goodman, Missouri, with 255 students. The school has shown significant fluctuations in student performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, with strong performance in some years and weaker performance in others.

In 2022-2023, Goodman Elementary had very strong performance, with 73.2% of 3rd graders and 44.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math, and 70.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA). However, in 2023-2024, the school's performance declined, with only 28% of 3rd graders and 48.6% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math, and 26% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA. Despite this, Goodman Elementary has performed very well for its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, ranking 18th out of 611 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 55th out of 532 in 2021-2022.

Compared to nearby schools, Goodman Elementary's performance is mixed, with some schools like George Washington Carver Elementary and Benton Elementary outperforming it, and others like Seneca Elementary also outperforming Goodman. The school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its performance, but its high chronic absenteeism rates are a concern and may be impacting student achievement.
