Summary:
In zip code 77335, there is a single middle school, Goodrich Middle, serving grades 6-8 in the rural community of Goodrich, Texas, as part of the Goodrich Independent School District (Isd).
Goodrich Middle is a very small school with just 52 students, offering a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1 that allows for individualized attention. The school has achieved a remarkable turnaround in recent years, jumping from the 13th percentile (1-star rating) in the 2023-2024 school year to the 74th percentile (4-star rating) in the 2025-2026 school year, ranking 598th out of 2,335 schools statewide. This dramatic improvement is especially notable given that 94.23% of students are economically disadvantaged, yet the school now outperforms state averages in 5 out of 8 tested subject and grade combinations on the STAAR exams. The school also maintains a 0.0% dropout rate.
While overall performance is strong, there are some specific areas of note. Eighth-grade math proficiency is a standout at 65.22%, well above the state average of 47.24%, but eighth-grade social studies proficiency lags at 28.57%, below the state average of 31.69%. Year-to-year volatility is expected in such a small school, as seen with 8th-grade reading dropping from 58.82% to 41.18% between recent years, but the consistent upward trend in overall ranking suggests systemic improvements are taking hold. With a spending per student of $11,882, the school appears to be effectively leveraging its resources to support student success despite high poverty levels.
