Summary

Goodman Elementary in Arlington, TX, is a PK-6 school within the Arlington Independent School District (Isd) serving 452 students in a high-poverty area, where over 91% qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has faced significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools for the past decade, currently at the 17th percentile with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, there is a tentative upward trend, as its ranking has improved from a low of the 7th percentile in 2022-2023 to its current position, though it still lags behind nearby schools like Atherton Elementary (30th percentile) and Amos Elementary (27th percentile).

A standout strength is the school's exceptional performance with Special Education students, ranking in the 81st percentile in 2023-2024, a stark contrast to its overall low ranking. This suggests a dedicated program, though this performance has since declined to the 35th percentile. Conversely, a critical weakness is 5th Grade Science, where only 3.45% of students were proficient on the STAAR exam in 2024-2025, far below district (21.18%) and state (29.57%) averages, a persistent issue for three years. Interestingly, the Spanish-language Math program shows promise, with 4th graders achieving a 37.5% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, outperforming district and state averages, indicating a potential model for improvement.

Compared to its neighbors, Goodman is not the lowest-performing option; Morton Elementary, just 0.99 miles away, ranks in the bottom 3% of the state. While Goodman's overall scores remain below district and state averages across all subjects, the school's history of effectively supporting "At Risk" students (ranking in the 60th percentile in 2018-2019) suggests capacity for growth. This fragile upward trend, combined with unique strengths in special education and bilingual math, offers a nuanced picture for parents considering this school.
