Goliad Elementary

Summary:

Goliad Elementary is a public elementary school in Odessa, Texas, serving 606 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Ector County Independent School District. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (77.72%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (84.65%).

Academically, Goliad Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower performance on STAAR tests compared to the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for White and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for these groups. Goliad Elementary also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower spending per student compared to nearby schools, such as Noel Elementary, Gale Pond Alamo Elementary, and Dowling Elementary, which generally perform better academically.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and ELL learners at Goliad Elementary, along with the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower spending per student, may be contributing to its lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader community could be key to improving outcomes at Goliad Elementary and providing its students with the support they need to succeed.

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.
