Summary

Goodrich Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 288 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Goodrich Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past several years, also earning a 0-star rating.

Goodrich Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic status. Only 11-24% of its students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 21-52% for the Milwaukee School District and 51-55% for the state of Wisconsin. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27% to 50% in recent years, much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, 86-92% of Goodrich Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

The challenges at Goodrich Elementary are not unique, as nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Thoreau Elementary and River Trail School of Agricultural Science, also perform poorly and have similar demographic and socioeconomic profiles. This suggests that the issues facing Goodrich Elementary are part of a broader, systemic challenge within the district that will require a comprehensive, collaborative approach to address effectively.
