Summary

Boonsboro Elementary is a PK-5 school in Lynchburg, VA with 309 students, serving families as part of Bedford County Public Schools, and it currently ranks in the top quarter of Virginia elementary schools with a 4-star rating. The school has shown dramatic improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 35th percentile in 2015-16 to the 76th percentile (266th out of 1,111 schools) for 2025-26, placing it among the strongest elementary schools in the area.

Academically, Boonsboro students consistently exceed Virginia state averages in reading, math, science, and Virginia Studies. In the latest test results, 5th grade science proficiency reached 88%, nearly 20 points above the state average, and 3rd grade math hit 87.5% proficiency. The one notable weak spot is 4th grade math, where proficiency dipped to 69.1%, below the district and state averages — though this appears to be a cohort-specific issue since 3rd and 5th grade math remain strong. Boonsboro also posts exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at just 5.5%, far better than the state average of 14.8% and dramatically lower than nearby city schools, where rates range from 19% to 33%.

Compared to nearby schools, Boonsboro stands out for its efficiency and strong results. Only Thomas Jefferson Elementary ranks higher in the region at the 87th percentile, while Forest Elementary matches Boonsboro's 76th percentile. By contrast, many Lynchburg City Public Schools — including Sandusky Elementary, Linkhorne Elementary, Robert S. Payne Elementary, Perrymont Elementary, and Dearington Elementary — rank in the single digits or low teens. Boonsboro also spends less per student ($8,031) than many nearby schools while achieving better outcomes, and its comparatively lower poverty rate (26.5% free/reduced lunch) and very strong attendance help explain its consistent success.
