Summary

Goodwin Frazier Elementary is a PK-5 school in New Braunfels, TX, serving 662 students within the highly-ranked Comal Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out as a true "comeback story," having rebounded from a low point in the late 2010s to earn a strong 4-star rating and rank in the 73rd percentile statewide. Its most recent performance shows a school that has successfully reversed a downward trend and is now performing well above the state average, making it a resilient choice for families.

The school's most impressive strength is its exceptional effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, where it ranks in the 74th percentile—a remarkable achievement that outpaces its overall performance. This suggests the school is particularly skilled at closing achievement gaps. However, Goodwin Frazier faces a clear challenge in mathematics, where proficiency rates across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades lag significantly behind district averages. For example, 5th grade math scores are nearly 7 percentage points below the state average, while 5th grade reading scores are 12 points above it. Additionally, 5th grade science scores have been alarmingly low, though the school is showing improvement in this area.

Compared to nearby schools, Goodwin Frazier offers a unique profile. While it outperforms some New Braunfels Independent School District (Isd) schools like Klein Road Elementary (40th percentile) and Memorial Elementary (46th percentile), it trails behind others like Seele Elementary (78th percentile) and Lamar Elementary (89th percentile). The school achieves its results with a student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and per-pupil spending of $9,453, which is moderate compared to its peers. This suggests that strong instructional strategies and leadership, rather than just resources, are driving its success.
