Goodview Elementary

Goodview Elementary serves 190 students in kindergarten through fourth grade in Winona, Minnesota. With a composite score of 9.3/10 and a rating of Exceptional, it ranks among the strongest elementary programs in the state. Its academic score of 9.1 reflects solid subject mastery, while a growth score of 9.5 — even higher — signals that students here advance faster than the vast majority of peers statewide.

Those scores translate directly into rankings. Goodview sits 6th out of 1,986 public schools across Minnesota, outperforming 100% of schools in the state. Among the state's 962 elementary schools specifically, it holds that same 6th-place position.

In Winona, no public school finishes above it — Goodview ranks first out of 11. A student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1 keeps class sizes small — roughly one teacher for every 12 students — at a school of 190. That staffing level supports the kind of targeted instruction the growth score reflects.

For families in Winona comparing elementary options, the data makes a clear case: Goodview is not just the top local choice, it is one of the six best elementary schools in the entire state.

With an enrollment of 190 students, Goodview Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
