Original Research by School Decision on Goodfield Elem School
Goodfield Elementary School is a small public school serving kindergarten through fourth grade in a village of modest size on the Woodford-Tazewell County line, part of the Eureka Consolidated Unit District 140. The school has an enrollment of about seventy students distributed across all five grades, with slightly larger classes in kindergarten and first grade and smaller cohorts in the upper grades. The student body is predominantly white, with minimal diversity.
On state assessment, the school shows mixed but uneven results. Fourth-grade students achieved proficiency in English language arts, and fourth graders showed moderate math proficiency as well. Third-grade math proficiency was not reported, and fifth-grade and higher results are missing from the data, likely because the school does not serve those grades. When proficiency results are aggregated across the grades and subjects where data is available, the school's overall performance places it in the top quartile among the twelve districts in Woodford County. A parent may want to ask the school directly about third-grade English proficiency results and about patterns of student growth from kindergarten through fourth grade, since the data available here is fragmentary.
Goodfield sits halfway between Peoria and Bloomington with direct I-74 access, functioning primarily as a bedroom community for commuters to those cities. The village includes residential subdivisions, a small commercial core along Eureka and Peoria Streets, and an industrial park. Civic anchors include a public park, a community library, village hall, and a post office. Students in grades five and above leave Goodfield to attend Eureka Middle School and Eureka High School in the neighboring town of Eureka. Housing values in the area are moderate and have appreciated modestly over the past year. The local economy is anchored in agriculture-related manufacturing and construction equipment, with many residents commuting to larger employers in the metro area.
The district has undertaken no major recent operational or curriculum changes that were reported publicly. The school is a traditional neighborhood elementary, with no charter or magnet designation. Specific information about Title I status, free or reduced lunch eligibility, special education enrollment, English learner support, staff size, attendance rates, or discipline data was not available in the provided information. A parent considering this school may want to request details on those topics directly from the school office, along with information about how reading and math instruction are organized in the early grades and what supports are in place for students who are not meeting grade-level benchmarks.
