Goodman Elementary

Summary:

Goodman Elementary is a 1st-5th grade school in Houston, Texas, serving a student population of 442 as part of the Aldine Independent School District. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly among certain student subgroups, despite serving a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.

Goodman Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (83.71%) compared to the Texas state average (around 52%), and a lower percentage of White students (1.36%) compared to the state average (around 27%). However, the school generally outperforms the Aldine district and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, Goodman's 5th-grade reading proficiency rate was 56.16% in 2023-2024, compared to 36.34% for the district and 53.96% for the state. The school's English Language Learner (ELL) students ranked in the top 28% of Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023, and its Gifted and Talented students ranked in the top 1% in 2021-2022.

While Goodman Elementary's overall performance is strong, there are some notable disparities in the achievement of different student subgroups. The school's African American and Hispanic students generally score lower on STAAR tests compared to their White and Asian peers. Nonetheless, Goodman's performance is generally stronger than that of other nearby schools in the Aldine district, such as Hill Elementary, Bussey Elementary, and Stehlik Elementary. However, Thompson Elementary, also in the Aldine district, outperforms Goodman Elementary in several key metrics.

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.
