Summary

Seatack Elementary an Achievable Dream Academy is a public elementary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 404 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district, which is ranked 25th out of 129 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Seatack Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, the school faces significant challenges in student academic performance. Compared to the district and state averages, Seatack Elementary has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores across various subjects and grade levels. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well but African American and Multi-racial students performing significantly lower.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Princess Anne Elementary and Strawbridge Elementary consistently outperform Seatack Elementary on test scores and other metrics, despite serving a similar student population. The school's high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, as indicated by the extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by Seatack Elementary.
