Goddard J H consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.84% of 7th-grade students and 42.02% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 52.08% and 54.09%, respectively. In STAAR Mathematics, the proficiency rates for Goddard J H were even lower, with only 7.62% of 7th-graders and 19.46% of 8th-graders meeting the standard, compared to the state averages of 31.89% and 40.23%. The school has also experienced a steady increase in dropout rates, from 0.2% in 2017-2018 to 2.4% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

Goddard J H's academic performance is consistently lower than the other middle schools in the Midland ISD, such as Abell J H and San Jacinto J H, which have higher STAAR proficiency rates and better overall rankings. However, Goddard J H's student-teacher ratio is lower than these nearby schools, which may suggest a potential area of focus for the school. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as Asian and Gifted and Talented students, performing better than others.

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.
