Test data shows less than half on the children have proficient and advanced in math and reading from the state test results (WINNS). This my neighborhood school and I would not send my kids here.

I have two daughters who attend Goodland. Every year their teachers, continue to impress me. Te school's 'NoBully' policy is fantastic. Also the principal of the school is very involved in every aspect of my children's success.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Wisconsin used the Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS), which includes the WKCE and WAA, to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in math and reading, and in grades 4, 8 and 10 in language arts, science and social studies. The WSAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Wisconsin. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level. In private schools, only voucher program participants are tested.

If there are fewer than 5 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group. Subgroup scores for each school are only reported for students who were enrolled as of the fall enrollment count. The All students score includes results for all students who took the test, regardless of when they first enrolled in the school.
