Goddard High has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.66%) and a lower percentage of White students (37.84%). Academically, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the state averages, with proficiency rates of 37% in Language Arts, 17% in Mathematics, and 34% in Science. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking higher for Asian and African American students but lower for Hispanic and White students compared to other New Mexico high schools. Additionally, Goddard High has a significant percentage of students (37.51%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Goddard High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 26th out of 163 New Mexico high schools in 2011-2012 to 76th out of 170 in 2022-2023. This suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to this decline and implement strategies to improve the school's academic performance. While Goddard High's performance is generally better than the nearby University High, which has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, it lags behind the higher-performing Early College High School, which has consistently ranked among the top high schools in New Mexico.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
