Summary

Good Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Irving Independent School District (Isd) serving 729 students in a high-poverty area, where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has shown extreme performance volatility, with a dramatic jump from the 25th to the 47th percentile in 2024-2025, followed by a sharp drop to the 9th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in Texas. This "yo-yo" effect suggests that a specific cohort or temporary intervention created a surge, but the success was not sustained, highlighting a need for systemic improvement.

Despite overall struggles, Good Elementary has demonstrated notable strengths in specific areas. In 2024-2025, 4th-grade students taking the STAAR Math test in Spanish achieved a 37.5% proficiency rate, significantly higher than the district (17.41%) and state (23.01%) averages. Similarly, 5th-grade students excelled in Science, with a 37.5% proficiency rate that outperformed the district (22.02%) and state (29.57%) averages, as well as every nearby ISD elementary school. However, subgroup performance is a major concern, with Special Education students ranking in the 4th percentile, Gifted and Talented students in the 6th percentile, and low socioeconomic status students in the 14th percentile statewide for 2025-2026, indicating challenges in differentiating instruction for all learners.

Comparisons to nearby schools reveal stark contrasts. Gilbert F M Elementary, just 0.35 miles away, serves a similar demographic (86.5% free/reduced lunch) but shows a steady upward trend, outperforming Good in nearly every subject in 2025-2026, such as 5th-grade Math (53.91% vs. 38.82%) and Reading (49.52% vs. 34.48%). The nearby charter school Uplift Infinity Prep Ps (81.6% free/reduced lunch) consistently outperforms Good, ranking in the 57th percentile, with 3rd-grade Reading proficiency (51.76%) more than double Good’s (23.21%). These comparisons suggest that school-level leadership and teaching quality, not just student demographics, are key drivers of success, and Good Elementary requires urgent, targeted intervention to stabilize performance and learn from higher-performing neighbors.
