Summary

Goodrich Middle School is a public middle school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 852 students in grades 6-8. Despite being part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, Goodrich consistently underperforms compared to other middle schools in the area and the state as a whole.

Academically, Goodrich lags behind the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Goodrich's 7th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 40.86%, compared to 57.61% for the Lincoln district and 58.41% for the state.

Compared to other middle schools in the Lincoln Public Schools district, such as Pound Middle School, Lefler Middle School, and Irving Middle School, Goodrich consistently underperforms in academic achievement, student attendance, and other key metrics. Addressing the challenges faced by Goodrich Middle School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve instructional practices, increase student engagement, and provide targeted support for the school's most vulnerable students.
