Summary

Camelot Elementary is a PK–5 school in Chesapeake, VA, serving 491 students in the Chesapeake City Public Schools district. Despite solid resources and strong attendance, the school ranks in the 24th percentile statewide (1 star), placing it 847th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools and making it the lowest-performing of the nearby Chesapeake elementaries. Camelot serves a high-poverty student body: 77.4% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the highest rate among nearby Chesapeake schools such as G.A. Treakle Elementary (72.3%), Deep Creek Elementary (73.9%), and Southwestern Elementary (74.1%).

Academically, Camelot trails its district in every subject and grade level tested. For example, 3rd grade reading proficiency is 57.1% versus the district average of 74.3%, and 5th grade science proficiency is 47.2% against the district's 71.7%. Neighboring G.A. Treakle Elementary, just 0.8 miles away, ranks in the 78th percentile statewide and posts 5th grade reading proficiency of 92.1% compared to Camelot's 65.7%. Deep Creek Central Elementary and Deep Creek Elementary both rank in the 61st–72nd percentile range, well above Camelot. However, the picture is more mixed when looking across the border: Camelot generally outperforms nearby Portsmouth schools like Cradock Elementary and Lakeview Elementary, many of which rank in the bottom 10% statewide.

Camelot's strengths are worth noting. Chronic absenteeism dropped to just 5.9% in 2024–2025—far below the district rate of 11.1%—after being above 25% in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 12.9:1, and per-pupil spending of $11,927 exceeds several nearby schools. The school's state ranking has also been volatile rather than consistently low: Camelot ranked in the 47th percentile in 2022–2023 and the 57th percentile in 2018–2019, showing it can perform near the state median. With strong attendance momentum and competitive resources, the school has a realistic path back toward the middle of the state rankings, particularly if it targets support for male students and strengthens science and social studies instruction.
