Summary

Goodland Montessori is a PK–8 school in Racine, Wisconsin, serving 375 students in the Racine Unified School District, a district that ranks near the bottom statewide.

Even so, Goodland stands out among its local peers. In 2025–2026 it ranked 629th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools — the 39th percentile, with 2 stars — while its district sits at the 5th percentile with 0 stars. Nearby schools such as Red Apple School, Gilmore Fine Arts School, and 21st Century Preparatory School rank roughly 795th to 1,001st. On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, Goodland averaged about 56.2% proficient, compared with roughly 28.5% for the district and about 11% to 36% among nearby schools. Upper grades are the strongest: 7th grade ELA at 76.47%, 6th grade ELA at 60%, 7th grade math at 64.71%, and 8th grade social studies at 68%. Early grades are weaker, with 3rd and 4th grade ELA and 3rd grade math below state averages.

Goodland's most striking operational strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 11.1% in 2024–2025, below the state's 17.3% and far below the district's 36.5%, and well under nearby schools such as Wadewitz Elementary (38.1%) and Mitchell School (46.7%). Its 32.8% free/reduced lunch rate is lower than every listed nearby school, yet it spends less per student ($14,073) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (16.8) than its same-district peers. Special education students rank at the 60th percentile, a clear strength, while some student groups score below the school average, pointing to areas for targeted support.
