Goochland County Schools: Striving for excellence Charged with providing excellence in education, the Goochland County Public Schools continue to raise the bar in every facet of instruction and the day-to-day lives of our students, who are without a doubt our county’s greatest asset. GCPS has a student enrollment of approximately 2,400 in grades K through 12. The system has three elementary schools (grades K-5), a middle school (grades 6-8), a high school (grades 9-12), and a Specialty Education Center that houses preschool programs and a center-based elementary gifted program.
cation Association, GHS has the highest graduation rate in the state while boasting the fourth-lowest dropout rate. Goochland County features small schools and favorable class sizes. Elementary schools range in size from 250 to 410 students, with average class sizes of 16-18 in grades K-2 and 20-22 in grades 3-5. Goochland Middle serves approximately 500 students with average class sizes of 21-23. Goochland High School serves approximately 750 students, with average class sizes of 21-23. Goochland is a leader in the Commonwealth in the use of technology to enhance instruction, with a student-to-computer ratio of 2:1. All schools have excellent networks that provide easy access to Internet-based learning resources. Through the “Powerschool” database, student grades and attendance data can be accessed by parents in real time. GMS also has Promethean boards, a software and hardware system that mimics the traditional chalkboard in its use of a teacher’s computer and interactive display, in every classroom. Meanwhile, more Promethean boards are being added to GHS and the county’s other schools every year.
Dr. Linda Underwood
Goochland High and Goochland Middle are two state-of the-art facilities on one complex. GHS opened in the fall of 2001 and currently houses grades 9-12. The complex, which now includes GMS after its completion last fall, operates as two separate schools that share an auditorium and kitchen. The 6-12 grade configuration reduces transportation costs and allows for more shared use of staff. All five of Goochland’s schools are fully accredited, based on student performance on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, in addition to being accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
