Summary:
The 77335 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Goodrich Independent School District (ISD). While the schools serve a diverse student population, they appear to be consistently underperforming compared to state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. All three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on STAAR/STAAR EOC tests, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes.
Economically, the schools serve a predominantly disadvantaged population, with 79-86% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level may contribute to the challenges the schools face. Interestingly, Goodrich High School has the highest per-student spending at $16,348, while Goodrich Elementary and Goodrich Middle School spend $11,375 and $11,882 per student, respectively. This suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the district that could be further investigated.
On a positive note, Goodrich High School boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, indicating that the school is effectively supporting its students through to graduation. However, it is important to understand the long-term trends and how these metrics compare to state and national averages. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 77335 zip code area face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students, and addressing these issues should be a priority for the Goodrich ISD.
