Interestingly, Goodnoe Elementary is located relatively close to two other high-performing elementary schools in the Pennsbury School District: Edgewood Elementary and Afton Elementary. The school's success can be attributed to factors such as high per-student spending, low free/reduced lunch rates, and a small student-teacher ratio.
