Summary:
The Godley Independent School District (Isd) is home to one middle school, Godley Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with a total enrollment of 729 students. This school holds a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has maintained a stable state rank in the 64th percentile for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1 and a 0.0% dropout rate, the school provides a supportive environment for its students, nearly half of whom (46.91%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Godley Middle demonstrates notable strengths in several academic areas. The school's advanced math program is a standout, with 65.38% of students proficient in Algebra I in the 2025-2026 school year, significantly outpacing the state average of 54.03%. Additionally, 6th-grade students consistently perform well above state averages in both Reading and Mathematics, indicating a strong foundation for incoming middle schoolers. The school also excels in 8th-grade Science, where 54.55% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, well above the state's 46.25%.
However, the data reveals clear areas for improvement. A concerning "7th-grade math slump" is evident, with proficiency rates of just 26.78% in 2025-2026, far below both 6th and 8th-grade scores and the state average. Similarly, 8th-grade Social Studies is a weak point, with only 27.78% of students proficient in 2025-2026, below the state average of 31.69%. Year-over-year volatility, such as a drop in 7th-grade Reading proficiency from 60.85% to 49.14%, suggests that targeted interventions could help ensure more consistent, high-quality learning across all subjects and grade levels.
