Summary:
The Godley Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Godley High School, which enrolls 868 students in grades 9 through 12 and is located in a suburban area of Texas. The school maintains a strong graduation rate of 94.9% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%, with 41.36% of students identified as economically disadvantaged.
Godley High School shows a notable split in academic performance across subjects. The school's standout strength is Biology, where 76.11% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, outperforming the state average by about 6%. In contrast, the school faces significant challenges in Algebra I and U.S. History, with only 34.44% and 52.75% of students proficient respectively, both well below state averages. English I and English II scores are close to the state average, indicating stable, middle-of-the-pack performance in those subjects. The school's state ranking has been volatile, dropping to the 36th percentile in 2023-2024 before improving to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it in the lower half of Texas high schools.
A key positive trend is the dramatic improvement in Algebra I proficiency, which jumped from 19.9% to 34.44% between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years—a 73% relative increase that suggests recent interventions may be working. However, the high graduation rate of 94.9% creates a tension with low proficiency in core subjects, indicating students may be progressing through the system without meeting state academic benchmarks. The school's student-teacher ratio is 14:1, and spending per student is $13,640. Overall, Godley High School offers a mixed picture: strong in science and student retention, but needing focused improvement in math and history to raise its overall standing.
