Summary

Stewartsville Elementary is a small PK-5 school in Goodview, VA, serving 292 students as part of Bedford County Public Schools, a 4-star district ranked in the top 30% of Virginia. The school operates with a very high poverty rate — free/reduced lunch eligibility has hovered near or above 87% in recent years — yet its attendance record is a bright spot. Chronic absenteeism fell sharply from 20.4% in 2022-23 to 10.6% in 2024-25, well below both the state average of 14.8% and the district average of 11.8%. This suggests a positive school climate that can serve as a foundation for academic growth.

Academically, Stewartsville Elementary currently ranks in the 45th percentile of Virginia elementary schools, which is below its district's overall strong performance. The biggest concern is a steady slide as students move up: 3rd grade math saw 84.2% proficiency in 2025-26, but by 5th grade that drops to 60.0%. Science is consistently weak, with 5th grade scores trailing the district and state by significant margins. On the positive side, the school appears to be particularly effective for economically disadvantaged students, and early elementary reading and math are generally at or above state averages.

Compared to nearby Goodview Elementary, a close neighbor in the same district, Stewartsville holds its own in 3rd grade but falls behind in upper elementary subjects like 5th grade math (60% vs. 85.3%) and science (68% vs. 85.3%). Interestingly, Stewartsville spends the least per student ($8,826) among surrounding schools, yet still outperforms several schools with nearly twice that funding. To move forward, the school must focus on preventing the academic slide between 3rd and 5th grade, especially in math and science, and build on its recent rebound in early grades.
