Summary

Goode School is an elementary school located in York, PA that serves grades PK-8 with 616 students. It is part of the York City School District, which is ranked 563 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Goode School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goode School struggles academically, performing significantly below state and district averages on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 7.1% of Goode students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 41.7% statewide and 10.5% in the York City School District. The school's performance is particularly low in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% in 8th grade to 18% in 4th grade in recent years. Goode School also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a higher percentage of English Language Learner (ELL) students compared to the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the York Suburban School District, such as Valley View Elementary and East York Elementary, significantly outperform Goode School and the other York City schools, with proficiency rates often exceeding 50% in Math and English Language Arts. This suggests that the challenges faced by Goode School may not be solely due to student demographics, but may also be influenced by broader district-level factors, such as funding, resources, and educational policies.
