Summary

Amelia Earhart Elementary School serves 514 students in prekindergarten through fourth grade in Goddard, within Goddard USD 265. Its latest results are above district and state levels in both tested subjects, but the sharp decline in math—especially the low third-grade result—is the school’s clearest concern.

ELA is the school’s stronger subject compared with nearby schools, the district and the state: 65% of students were proficient, about 12 percentage points above the nearby-school average, 12 points above the district and 19 points above the state. In math, 56% were proficient—12 points above nearby schools on average, 11 above the district and 15 above the state. Among 11 schools, Amelia Earhart ranked second in ELA and third in math; Apollo Elementary School scored higher in both subjects, and Garden Plain Elementary also scored higher in math. The grade-level gap is notable: third-grade math was 43%, slightly below the state and four points below the district, while fourth-grade math was 66%.

Results have shifted recently: math fell 11 percentage points from 67% in 2024–25 to 56% in 2025–26, while ELA was down 6 points from its 2024–25 high. SchoolDigger placed the school in the 77th percentile and awarded 4 stars in 2025–26, down from the 90th percentile the year before. Its student–teacher ratio was 14, a midrange figure among nearby schools; its 32% free/reduced-lunch rate was close to some Goddard peers and is context, not an explanation for scores. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students was at the 58th percentile, below the school’s overall 77th percentile and down from the 94th two years earlier. Its ranking for Hispanic Students also fell, from the 97th percentile to the 79th.
