Goodman El

Goodman EL is a elementary school located in Houston, TX, serving grades 1–5 and approximately 442 students. Operated by Aldine ISD, the campus sits about 12.6 miles from Spring News's newsroom and is part of Spring News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 24 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 18.4:1. That ratio is above the state average for TX, suggesting larger class sizes than the regional norm.

Goodman EL is a traditional zoned public school within Aldine ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. Spring News publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Houston considering elementary placement, Goodman EL is one of the campuses Spring News regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
