Goodrich Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Goodrich Isd

Goodrich ISD serves a district enrollment in Polk County, Texas that spans from Pre-K through grade 12. The population of about 272 students flows across three schools: an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school. The student body is diverse by race and ethnicity, with roughly equal shares of white and Hispanic students and a smaller share of Black students. Demographic detail on free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility and English learner enrollment was not available in the district data.

Academic performance on Texas state assessments shows an uneven picture across grades and subjects. In English language arts, students in grades four, five, six, and seven show stronger proficiency rates, with grade seven reaching above the midpoint. Grades five and six also perform comparably well in ELA. Mathematics presents a different profile: students in fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades show notably lower proficiency rates, with fourth and fifth grades in the low range; eighth grade math results improve sharply. Science proficiency rates in grades five and eight are low, with most students not yet meeting state standards. Grade eight social studies shows particularly weak results. At the higher end, grade eight English language arts reaches about the midpoint, and grade eight mathematics exceeds it, suggesting some students build stronger foundations as they advance. The state testing data spans only the elementary and middle years; high school testing results were not provided.

The district's overall proficiency index across all tested subjects and grades falls below the midpoint when compared to other Polk County districts. This reflects the gap between elementary-level strength in ELA and consistent weakness in mathematics across grades four through seven, as well as low science and social studies proficiency. One bright spot: chronic absenteeism in the district sits at a level that places it in the bottom quartile among county peers, meaning students are missing school at a notably higher rate than most comparable districts. That figure warrants parent inquiry into whether attendance barriers exist and what supports the district offers.

The housing market around the district is accessible. Home values in the Goodrich area are modest and have remained relatively stable, declining only slightly year over year. Rental housing is sparse in the immediate area but available in nearby Livingston. Monthly mortgage costs are moderate relative to household income in the region. The affordability position suggests that families relocating to the area would find housing costs manageable compared to state and national benchmarks.

District leadership publicly reported the adoption of a five-year strategic plan beginning in the 2025-26 school year that addresses curriculum vetting, instructional capacity building, new-teacher onboarding, and teacher retention. These are foundational shifts that shape instruction and stability over time. Under Texas's restored A-F accountability system for 2024-25, Goodrich High School earned a publicly reported A rating, and the district overall earned a B, which provides current comparative standing for families making enrollment decisions.

Goodrich ISD's academic profile reflects a district working to build consistency across grade levels and subjects. Families should weigh whether the current performance gaps in mathematics, science, and social studies align with their child's learning needs and whether the strategic investments in curriculum and instructional practice signal the direction they want their school to move.
