Summary

Goodman High is a very small rural public school in Goodman, WI, serving grades 7–12 in the Goodman-Armstrong Creek School District with only 37 students, making it the smallest school in its nearby comparison group.

For parents, the biggest contrast is resources versus attendance. Goodman spends $35,432 per student and has a 4.9:1 student-teacher ratio—far more spending and much smaller classes than Wabeno High, Pembine High, and Laona High. About 56.76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Yet chronic absenteeism is 42.1%, more than double Wisconsin’s 17.3% and far above all three nearby schools. Completion is still a strength: the graduation rate is 91.6%, just under the state’s 92.0%, and the dropout rate is 0.0%. The district is ranked 352 of 432 in Wisconsin (19th percentile, 1 star), while the school ranked 286 of 533 in 2025–2026 (46th percentile, 2 stars).

Academically, math is the clearest bright spot: 50% proficient on 2025–2026 ACT math, above the state’s 42.93%, tied with Pembine High, and ahead of Wabeno High and Laona High. English language arts and science are weaker, at 37.5% each, below the state and some nearby peers. Goodman High’s ranking history has been unusually volatile—from 1st of 466 in 2014–2015 to the 16th percentile in 2020–2021 and 46th percentile in 2025–2026. With only 37 students, small cohorts can make year-to-year results swing sharply, so parents should interpret individual-year scores with caution. Compared with nearby schools, Goodman High tends to outperform Wabeno High on tests and completion, has stronger math and a higher graduation rate than Laona High but far worse attendance, and trails Pembine High in ELA and overall efficiency.
