Summary

Goodview Elementary in Goodview, VA, serves about 504 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Bedford County Public Schools, a solid 4-star district ranked 35th of 131 in Virginia. The school itself earned 3 stars in the 2025–2026 SchoolDigger ranking, placing 409th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (63rd percentile). Like many schools in the region, it has a high share of economically disadvantaged students — 82.9% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Goodview has strong upward momentum. As recently as 2018–2019 it was a 1-star school in the bottom quarter of the state; it has since climbed steadily to its current 3-star, upper-middle-tier position. Its standout results are in upper elementary math and science: 5th grade math proficiency is 85.3% (compared to 76.2% in the district and 72.4% statewide) and 5th grade science is 85.3% — nearly 17 points above the state average. Low-income students, who make up the vast majority of the student body, rank in the 62nd percentile compared to their peers statewide, a strong sign for a high-poverty school. The biggest challenge is early literacy: only 60% of 3rd graders are proficient in reading, well below the district's 73.9% and the state's 67.6%, and this gap has persisted for several years.

Parents comparing schools in the area will find Goodview Elementary competitive with several mid-tier Roanoke County schools like Mount Pleasant Elementary, Herman L. Horn Elementary, and W.E. Cundiff Elementary, and well ahead of Roanoke City schools such as Garden City Elementary, Morningside Elementary, and Fallon Park Elementary. It also clearly outperforms its nearest same-district neighbor, Stewartsville Elementary (0.8 miles away), which ranks 615th in the state. Top-tier regional schools like Colonial Elementary and Bonsack Elementary remain ahead. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from 22% to 13.3%, near the state average, and the school achieves its results on a relatively lean budget of $9,231 per student. That efficiency is notable, though the 14.7:1 student-teacher ratio may make closing the 3rd grade reading gap more difficult.
