Summary

Indian Lakes Elementary is a public elementary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 494 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 school districts in the state.

Indian Lakes Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 147th out of 1,096 Virginia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 652nd out of 1,114 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests has been mixed compared to the district and state averages, with some strengths, such as higher proficiency rates in 4th grade mathematics and 5th grade English reading, but also struggles in areas like 3rd grade mathematics and 5th grade science. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and a high rate of chronic absenteeism, which may impact student learning and achievement.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Glenwood Elementary and Kempsville Elementary, Indian Lakes Elementary generally performs below the average in terms of statewide rankings and SOL test scores. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as higher proficiency rates in specific grade levels. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism and supporting the academic needs of its diverse student population will be crucial for improving overall student outcomes at Indian Lakes Elementary.
