Summary

Lula Belle Goodman Elementary in Fresno, TX, serves 857 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd), and it is a school that invests heavily in its students but faces significant challenges due to high poverty levels, with over 83% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Despite spending $12,184 per student—substantially more than nearby high-performing schools like Sienna Crossing Elementary ($9,408) and Glenn York Elementary ($9,069)—the school has historically ranked in the bottom third of Texas elementary schools. However, there is a bright spot: the school’s bilingual program is a standout, with 3rd graders taking the Spanish STAAR scoring 50% proficient in Reading and 56.1% in Math, outperforming the district average. This suggests that the school is effectively supporting its English Language Learner students, a group that often struggles elsewhere.

When compared to nearby schools, the contrast is stark. Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary in Alvin ISD and Sienna Crossing Elementary are both 5-star schools with over 94% of students proficient in reading and math, and free/reduced lunch rates below 20%. Lula Belle Goodman’s performance is a mirror image, highlighting how socioeconomic factors can create vastly different educational environments within a few miles. The school’s closest neighbor, Walter Moses Burton Elementary, shares a similar demographic profile and struggles, but Lula Belle Goodman is outperforming it in most subjects, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade math, suggesting its strategies may be slightly more effective.

Key areas for concern include 5th Grade Science, where only 11.81% of students were proficient on the English STAAR test in 2024-2025—far below the district (34.36%) and state (29.57%) averages. Additionally, support for Special Education students has declined sharply, with these students ranking in the 17th percentile in 2025-2026, down from the 35th percentile in 2022-2023. On a positive note, the school is performing relatively well for its African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the 49th and 48th percentiles respectively. Overall, Lula Belle Goodman is on a slow upward trajectory, but it remains in a precarious position, fighting an uphill battle against significant socioeconomic odds.
