Summary:
Goshen Local is an Ohio district serving about 2,695 students across four schools — two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — covering grades PK through 12 in a single PK–12 community. The district as a whole ranks 190th of 773 Ohio districts, in the 75th percentile, with 4 stars. One caveat: Marr/Cook serves PK–2 and has no state test scores, free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all schools, and spending figures date to 2018–2019.
Spaulding Elementary School is the clearest academic standout. It ranks 217th of 1,560 elementary schools — the 86th percentile — with 4 stars, up from the 69th percentile the prior year, and all seven of its reported test scores beat the state, including 89% in 3rd-grade math (state 62.1%) and 90.1% in 5th-grade ELA (state 70.4%). All seven improved year over year, and its chronic absenteeism, 13.4%, is below the district's 15.9%. Marr/Cook Elementary School has no test scores or rank because it serves PK–2, but it has the lowest student-teacher ratio, 19, and the highest listed per-student spending, $9,288.
Goshen Middle School posts strong advanced results — 8th-grade math 83% vs. 52% state, 8th-grade science 76.8% vs. 61.2%, and 100% in Integrated Math I (state 34.4%) — but that 100% reflects only students who took that exam, and its chronic absenteeism, 21.3%, is the district's highest and 5.4 points above the district rate. Goshen High School graduates 99.0% of students and beats the state in American Government (83.5%), American History (81.6%), Biology (74%), and Integrated Math II (52.1%), while English II, 60.1%, falls below the state's 62.7% after dropping from 66%. Its absenteeism, 15.6%, sits just under the district's.
