Summary

Goshen School is an elementary school located in Goshen, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 324 students. While the school is part of the Nebo School District, which is ranked 50 out of 93 districts in the state, Goshen School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating for most of the recent school years.

One of the key challenges facing Goshen School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 32.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools in the Nebo District, such as Park View School and Taylor School. Additionally, Goshen School's test scores are generally lower than the Nebo District and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low 5th grade math proficiency at only 7.7%.

While Goshen School serves a relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 33.08% to 43.52%, this factor alone does not fully explain the school's underperformance. For example, Mona School, which is in the Juab School District, has significantly higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to Goshen School, despite potentially serving a similar population. Addressing the key issues at Goshen School, such as improving attendance and academic performance, will be crucial for enhancing student outcomes and the overall success of the school.
