Summary

Goodman Elementary in Houston, TX, serves 585 students in grades 1 through 5 within the Aldine Independent School District (Isd), where over 88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high-poverty community.

Goodman Elementary has experienced a dramatic academic rollercoaster. After climbing from the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools to the 60th percentile in 2023-2024—a remarkable turnaround—the school suffered a sharp decline, dropping to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026. This reversal affected nearly every student group: low socio-economic status students fell from the 81st to the 35th percentile, and special education students plummeted from the 72nd to the 15th percentile. In contrast, nearby Thompson Elementary (2.18 miles away) serves a similarly high-poverty population but has maintained consistent, above-average performance in the 71st-75th percentile for three consecutive years, outperforming Goodman in every English and Spanish STAAR test in 2025-2026.

A notable bright spot is Goodman’s Spanish-language math program, where 4th graders scored 40% proficient in 2025-2026—10 points above the state average. However, this strength is inconsistent: 3rd graders taking the same Spanish math test scored 0% proficient that year, signaling a critical breakdown in foundational instruction for that cohort. The school’s per-student spending ($13,073) is higher than peers like Carroll Elementary ($10,179) and Thompson Elementary ($10,902), yet outcomes lag behind, suggesting resource allocation or instructional effectiveness issues. The Gifted and Talented program also saw a puzzling collapse from the 99th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026. Goodman has proven it can succeed, but urgent investigation into the causes of this widespread decline is needed to reverse the trend and learn from stable peers like Thompson.
