Summary:
The Goodwell High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Goodwell area. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 94th out of 439 Oklahoma high schools in 2022-2023 to 218th out of 431 in 2023-2024. Similarly, the school's SchoolDigger rating has varied from 4 stars out of 5 to 2 stars out of 5 over the same period.
Academically, Goodwell High School has shown some strengths, outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and U.S. History on the OSTP exams. However, the school struggles in Mathematics, with only 12% of 11th-grade students meeting proficiency in 2024-2025, compared to the Oklahoma average of 18%. The school's four-year graduation rate was 82.2% in 2023-2024, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 19.0% in 2024-2025, both of which are areas that may require further attention.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as over 50% of Goodwell High School students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may face challenges related to supporting students from lower-income backgrounds. With a student-teacher ratio of 18.2 to 1 in 2023-2024 and per-student spending of $12,108 in 2018-2019, the school appears to have access to resources, but the data does not indicate how these resources are being utilized to address the school's academic and attendance-related challenges.
