Summary

Goliad Elementary is a public elementary school in Goliad, Texas, serving 580 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Goliad Independent School District (ISD). While the district is ranked 370 out of 961 in Texas and has a 3-star rating, Goliad Elementary's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with some notable exceptions.

In 5th grade reading and mathematics, Goliad Elementary outperforms the state average, with 64.77% and 57.95% of students proficient or better, respectively. However, in other grade levels and subjects, the school's performance lags behind, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade reading and mathematics. The school's student population is also diverse, with significant disparities in performance across different subgroups, such as female students outperforming male students and gifted and talented students performing exceptionally well.

Additionally, Goliad Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the school's overall academic performance, as research has shown a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement. Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the school's performance suggests that it may need to examine how it allocates and utilizes its resources to maximize student outcomes and address the unique challenges faced by its diverse student population.
