Middle Schools in Goodrich Independent School District (Isd)

Goodrich Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Goodrich Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant academic challenges, with declining performance on standardized tests and a student population that faces socioeconomic disadvantages.

Goodrich Middle has a student population of 48, with a high percentage of students (79.17%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student body. The school's performance on the STAAR tests is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.5% to 41.18% in mathematics and 28.57% to 37.5% in reading, compared to the state averages of 31.89% to 37.1% and 52.08% to 54.45%, respectively. The school's performance in STAAR Science (11.76% proficient) and STAAR Social Studies (5.88% proficient) for 8th grade was also significantly below the state averages.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,882 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, Goodrich Middle's academic performance has been declining over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 1517 out of 2254 Texas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 2049 out of 2361 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's resource allocation and strategies for improvement may need to be closely examined to identify opportunities for intervention and support to help the students succeed. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students and lower percentages of Asian and Native American students compared to the state averages, may impact the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience for its students.
