About Goodman High
Goodman High serves 35 students in grades 7-12 in the small community of Goodman, Wisconsin, within Marinette County. This regular public school maintains an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 5.0:1 with seven full-time equivalent teachers, allowing for highly personalized attention and close student-teacher relationships that larger schools simply cannot provide. The school has earned a solid 7.1 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout and ranks impressively at #183 out of 2,112 schools statewide, placing it in the 91st percentile among Wisconsin schools.
This strong performance is particularly noteworthy for such a small rural institution, demonstrating the quality education possible in intimate learning environments. Goodman High operates within a close-knit community where the median household income is $53,448 and median home values are $94,600. The area maintains a low poverty rate of 4.8%, contributing to a stable environment for student learning.
While only 15% of residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher, the school's strong state ranking suggests it effectively prepares students for their post-graduation goals. Located in a remote rural area of northern Wisconsin, Goodman High offers students the unique advantage of small-town education where every student is known and supported by dedicated faculty members.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 35 students, Goodman High is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 5:1, Goodman High offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
Located in a rural area, Goodman High may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
