What stands out about Goodrich ISD

  • It ranks in the bottom 5% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 3% of districts.
  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +34.8% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Texas's statewide +10.1% by 24.7 points, a growth rate faster than 90% of the 1,015 Texas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 8.7% here, from 241 students in FY2019 to 262 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
  • It is a very small district (262 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
