Summary:
The Gooding Joint District in Idaho has only one elementary school, Gooding Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 519 students. While the school has a diverse student population, with 56.45% White and 42.2% Hispanic students, its academic performance on ISAT exams is consistently lower than the district and state averages across Math, Science, and English Language Arts.
Gooding Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0% and limited resources, with a spending per student of $6,128 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.7. These factors may contribute to the school's consistently low ranking, ranging from 143rd out of 252 Idaho elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 216th out of 301 in 2023-2024, and its 1 or 2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Idaho elementary schools.
Overall, the analysis of Gooding Elementary School suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its diverse student population. Addressing the root causes of academic underperformance, chronic absenteeism, and resource allocation issues could be crucial in improving student outcomes and the school's overall standing within the Gooding Joint District.
