Summary

Goodman Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with 456 students. It is part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 660 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Goodman Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating in recent years.

Goodman Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.22% of 3rd-grade students at Goodman Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 41.53% for Arlington ISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school also has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which can contribute to the academic struggles. However, Goodman Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends a higher amount per student than the district and state averages.

When comparing Goodman Elementary to nearby schools in the Arlington ISD, it is clear that the school is one of the lowest-performing in the district. Schools like Amos Elementary, Atherton Elementary, and Rankin Elementary consistently outperform Goodman Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher overall rankings. The school's significant underperformance of key student subgroups and inconsistent trends in performance suggest that Goodman Elementary may need to implement comprehensive, evidence-based strategies to address the root causes of its challenges and provide a better educational experience for its students.
