Summary

Legacy Elementary in Godley, TX, is a PK-5 public school serving 502 students as part of the Godley Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable turnaround over the past decade, rising from a low point in 2016-2017 to a current 3-star rating and ranking in the 63rd percentile statewide.

Legacy Elementary stands out for its strong performance in 4th-grade mathematics, where 61.62% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, significantly outpacing both the district (52.26%) and state (49.28%) averages. This is a consistent strength that differentiates it from in-district peers like Rb Godley Elementary and Pleasant View Elementary, which both scored below the state average in this subject. However, the school faces a notable challenge with a "5th-grade math slump," as only 44.05% of 5th graders were proficient in math, below both the district and state. On a positive note, 5th-grade science is a surprising strength, with 41.76% of students proficient in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district (31.49%) and state (29.57%) averages. Legacy also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch (30.88%) compared to its in-district peers, and it is the clear leader among the three elementary schools in Godley ISD, with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.8:1.

While Legacy Elementary serves its general population well, it struggles to bridge the achievement gap for its most vulnerable students. The school's overall 63rd percentile rank is respectable, but its economically disadvantaged students rank in the 13th percentile, revealing a significant disparity. In contrast, the school shows exceptional performance for African American students, ranking in the 84th percentile. When compared to high-performing out-of-district schools like North Joshua Elementary and A G Elder Elementary in the Joshua Independent School District (Isd), which consistently rank in the 80th-95th percentile, Legacy is not yet competitive, highlighting the impact of district-level resources and demographics on school performance.
