Summary:
The four public schools in zip code 76044, serving approximately 2,659 students, are all part of the Godley Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 52nd percentile statewide.
Legacy Elementary stands out as the district's consistent top performer, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 61st-64th percentile over the last three years. It has the lowest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (30.88%) and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14.8:1, significantly outperforming district and state averages in 4th-grade Math and Reading. In contrast, Rb Godley Elementary faces more challenges with the highest poverty rate (47.68%) and a higher student-to-teacher ratio (15.5:1). Godley Middle is the academic powerhouse, particularly in advanced math, with 8th graders achieving Algebra I proficiency rates of 73.68% and 65.38% in recent years—far exceeding district and state averages. Godley High School is the weakest link, consistently earning a 2-star rating and ranking in the 36th-45th percentile. While it excels in Biology (76.11% proficient), it struggles significantly in Algebra I (34.44%) and U.S. History (52.75%), both well below state averages.
A key takeaway is the district's declining math proficiency from elementary to high school, suggesting a systemic issue that needs attention starting in upper elementary grades. The middle school serves as the strongest link, providing a launchpad for high-achieving math students, while the high school shows a clear dichotomy between strong science/English departments and weaker math/social studies programs. The district maintains a favorable average student-to-teacher ratio of 14.5:1, and Godley High School boasts a strong 94.9% graduation rate with a low 0.4% dropout rate.
