Summary

Goodrich Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Goodrich, TX, serving 147 students within the Goodrich Independent School District (Isd). The school serves a highly economically disadvantaged community, with over 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among all nearby schools.

After spending several years in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools, Goodrich Elementary has shown a dramatic turnaround, climbing to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026—its highest ranking in nearly a decade. This represents a 29-percentage-point improvement in just two years. The school's 5th graders achieved a 50% proficiency rate in Math, above the state average of 47.38%, a remarkable turnaround from just 25% the year prior. While the school's overall performance still lags behind higher-performing neighbors like Cedar Grove Elementary (76th percentile) and Timber Creek Elementary (68th percentile) in the nearby Livingston Independent School District (Isd), the recent upward trend suggests recent interventions are beginning to yield positive results.

Notably, Goodrich Elementary excels in supporting specific student groups. Its Special Education students rank in the 56th percentile statewide, outperforming the school's overall rank. Hispanic students also show strong performance, ranking in the 53rd percentile and earning a 3-star rating—a massive improvement from the 4th percentile just two years prior. However, the school's White student population is struggling, ranking in the 15th percentile, creating an unusual dynamic where the majority demographic underperforms relative to other subgroups. Despite historically high per-student spending ($11,375 in 2020-2021), the school's challenges have been tied to the extreme poverty concentration, though the recent academic gains indicate that resources may now be more effectively allocated.
