Summary

Goodnight Middle in San Marcos, TX, serves 884 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, a district ranked in the 32nd percentile statewide. Over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high-needs community. The school has experienced a significant decline in its state ranking over the past decade, dropping from the 53rd percentile in 2015-2016 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026, making it the lowest-ranked middle school in its immediate area.

Mathematics is a critical weakness at Goodnight Middle, with proficiency rates in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math falling well below state averages—for example, only 16.42% of 6th graders were proficient compared to the state average of 38.57%. These scores are the lowest among nearby schools, such as Church Hill Middle (81st percentile) and R.C. Barton Middle (83rd percentile), which have much lower rates of economic disadvantage. However, Goodnight Middle shows a bright spot in Algebra I End-of-Course exams, where 64.66% of test-takers were proficient, significantly exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This suggests the school effectively accelerates a select group of students into advanced coursework, even as the majority struggle with grade-level math.

Reading scores at Goodnight Middle are more stable and show improvement, with 8th-grade reading proficiency rising from 37.46% in 2023-2024 to 45.49% in 2025-2026. The school also demonstrates notable success with African American students, who ranked in the 79th percentile statewide in 2024-2025. In contrast, other subgroups, including Hispanic students and those from low socio-economic backgrounds, perform in the bottom quintile. Compared to its district peer, Miller Middle, located just 2.1 miles away, Goodnight Middle has a higher rate of economic disadvantage and significantly lower overall performance, indicating that school-level factors like leadership and resource allocation play a key role in the gap.
