Goodwater Montessori School

Summary:

Goodwater Montessori School is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Georgetown, Texas, with a student population of 410. However, the school has consistently struggled to provide a high-quality education, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past 5 years.

Goodwater Montessori School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile for Hispanic, White, and special education students, as well as low-socioeconomic status students. The school's dropout rate has also seen a concerning increase, rising from 0% in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 to 6.1% in 2021-2022. Despite spending significantly more per student ($10,944 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Georgetown Independent School District, Goodwater Montessori School consistently underperforms. Schools like Jo Ann Ford Elementary, Village Elementary, and Raye McCoy Elementary have significantly higher academic achievement and statewide rankings, indicating that Goodwater Montessori School may be struggling to effectively serve its students and community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
