Summary:
ZIP code 54125 is served by just two schools — Goodman High (grades 7–12, 37 students) and Goodman-Armstrong Elementary (grades PK–6, 36 students) — both in the Goodman-Armstrong Creek School District, a very small rural district covering PK–12 with 73 students total. There is no separate middle school and no alternative school, and the district overall ranks 352 out of 432 Wisconsin districts (19th percentile, 1 star).
The two schools look quite different from each other. Goodman High stands out for ACT Math in 10th grade at 50% proficient versus 42.93% statewide, a 0.0% dropout rate against the state's 1.1%, and a graduation rate of 91.6% that is essentially level with the state's 92.0%. Its rank history improved from 1 star in 2020–2021 to 2 stars in recent years. However, chronic absenteeism at the high school is 42.1%, more than double the state rate of 17.3% and well above the district's 25.7%. Elementary looks like the mirror image: chronic absenteeism is just 8.3%, less than half the state rate, and 4th grade Science is above state at 57.14% versus 53.46%. Yet most elementary reading and math results lag the state, including 3rd grade ELA at 16.67% versus 52.08% and 4th grade Math at 14.29% versus 52.87%, and its rank fell from 3 stars in 2020–2022 to 1 star and the 23rd percentile in 2025–2026.
Both buildings are resource-intensive and very small: per-student spending is $35,432 at the high school and $28,315 at the elementary, with student-teacher ratios of 4.9 and 5.9. Roughly 56.76% of high school students and 47.22% of elementary students qualify for free or reduced lunch. With only a handful of students per grade, a single student can shift a proficiency rate by 10–20 points, so these figures are best read as directional rather than stable.
