Elementary Schools in Norfolk City Public Schools

Summary:

The Norfolk City Public Schools district operates 33 elementary schools serving grades pre-K through 8, with the majority being traditional elementary schools for grades PK-5. The district as a whole is ranked 109 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out as performing better than the district and state averages, including Ghent K-8, Larchmont Elementary, Walter Herron Taylor Elementary, Mary Calcott Elementary, and Tarrallton Elementary. These schools have strong performance across multiple subjects and grade levels, often exceeding the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the district, with some schools struggling to meet state standards. Factors such as high chronic absenteeism rates and high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch appear to be linked to lower academic achievement. The district's two K-8 schools, Ghent K-8 and Crossroads PreK-8, are among the top performers, suggesting the K-8 structure may be beneficial for student outcomes. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges facing many of the elementary schools in the Norfolk City Public Schools district.
