Goddard Junior High

Midland is a West Texas oil town with a tight-knit, hardworking culture, and Goddard Junior High reflects the broader challenges that come with serving a rapidly growing, resource-stretched community. Families in the area tend to prioritize practicality and grit, and while Goddard's academic scores currently sit below state averages across English, math, and science, it may suit families who are active participants in their child's education and willing to supplement where needed. For those already rooted in this part of Midland, knowing what to expect going in — and staying engaged with teachers — can make a real difference in the experience here.
