Summary

Truitt Intermediate is an elementary school located in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 245 students. It is part of the Chesapeake City Public Schools district, which is ranked 31 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Truitt Intermediate has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Virginia elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's student subgroups, including female, male, African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, all rank in the bottom 50% of their respective groups in Virginia, and the school's disabled student population ranks in the bottom 10%. Truitt Intermediate also has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12% to 21.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Truitt Intermediate's proficiency rates on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments are consistently lower than the Chesapeake City Public Schools district and the state of Virginia across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade math proficiency rate was 48.31%, compared to 78.96% for the district and 71.56% for the state. While the school's per-student spending is on par with or slightly higher than nearby schools, the challenges it faces suggest that broader systemic factors may be contributing to its struggles, which will likely require a multifaceted approach to address.
