Goodman Elementary

Summary:

Goodman Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 476 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 683 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goodman Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of Goodman Elementary students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 15.15% (3rd grade) to 39.68% (6th grade), compared to the district averages of 37.83% to 43.98% and the state averages of 48.85% to 54.45%. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, with 90.76% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, nearby schools like Amos Elementary, Atherton Elementary, and Rankin Elementary generally perform better academically and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

Goodman Elementary's consistently low academic performance, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and racial disparities in student achievement suggest that the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. However, the school's proximity to other higher-performing schools in the Arlington ISD presents an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices that could potentially help improve Goodman Elementary's outcomes.

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.
