Summary

Goliad High School is a small public high school serving 415 students in grades 9-12 in the rural town of Goliad, TX, part of the Goliad Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional English I Reading program, where 81.72% of students achieved proficiency in the most recent school year—a remarkable 26 percentage points above the state average. The school has been on a clear upward trajectory, climbing from the 46th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 67th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating for four consecutive years. Goliad High School also excels at supporting its Special Education students, who now rank in the 78th percentile statewide—a dramatic improvement from the 32nd percentile just three years ago. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and spends approximately $14,000-$15,000 per student, resources that likely contribute to its consistently high graduation rates (above 95%) and very low dropout rates (often below 1%).

While the school shows strong overall momentum, there are areas for continued focus. Algebra I has historically been a weakness, though recent improvements have brought proficiency rates slightly above the state average. The school also shows a significant performance gap between different student groups, with some subgroups ranking much higher than others. There are no other high schools within 20 miles of Goliad, making this the primary option for families in the area. Overall, Goliad High School is a school on the rise, with effective English instruction, strong support for diverse learners, and a clear commitment to improvement that parents will find encouraging.
