Goliad Elementary

Summary:

Goliad Elementary is a public elementary school in Goliad, Texas, serving 617 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Victoria Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 388 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goliad Elementary has a diverse student population, with 44.08% White, 50.08% Hispanic, and 2.59% African American students, which is different from the nearby Mission Valley Elementary (65.45% White) and Meyersville Elementary (82% White). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average in most subjects and grade levels, with the exception of 4th and 5th grade reading. Goliad Elementary's Gifted and Talented students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 212 out of 2,980 Texas elementary schools, but the school's African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students perform significantly below the state average.

Goliad Elementary has seen a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students, which may have implications for the school's academic and social dynamics. The school's per-student spending has also increased, from $9,317 in 2018-2019 to $11,262 in 2020-2021, suggesting the Meyersville Independent School District (Isd)'s commitment to investing in its students. However, the school's leadership and the district should focus on addressing the significant disparities in student group performance and developing a more comprehensive and equitable approach to improving the overall academic performance of Goliad Elementary.

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.
