Summary

Lynnhaven Elementary is a public elementary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 373 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools district, Lynnhaven Elementary has seen fluctuating rankings and ratings in recent years, ranging from 426th to 900th place among Virginia elementary schools and earning between 1 to 3 stars from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lynnhaven Elementary's student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is mixed compared to the district and state averages. The school excels in 3rd grade mathematics, with 82.35% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025. However, in other grade levels and subject areas, Lynnhaven lags behind. This contrast is particularly stark when compared to nearby schools like Kingston Elementary and Windsor Woods Elementary, which have consistently higher rankings and ratings.

One potential factor contributing to Lynnhaven Elementary's academic challenges is the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 92.49% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.7% in 2023-2024 to 19.3% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and community engagement could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Lynnhaven Elementary.
