Summary

Great Bridge Intermediate is an elementary school in Chesapeake, VA serving 728 students in grades 3–5 as part of Chesapeake City Public Schools, a district rated 4 stars and ranked 34th out of 131 in Virginia. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks 196th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (82nd percentile) — a strong result, though a step down from the 5-star, 95th-percentile rankings it earned in both 2022–2023 and 2023–2024.

Great Bridge Intermediate exceeds district and state averages in every tested subject and grade. Fifth-grade math proficiency is 91.09% versus 81.24% for the district and 72.39% for the state, and reading is similarly strong at 87.64% versus 77.25% and 72.42%. Proficiency grows as students progress: math climbs from 85.45% in 3rd grade to 91.09% in 5th grade. Attendance is another standout — chronic absenteeism is just 6.5%, far below the district's 11.1% and the state's 14.8%. Several nearby schools outpace Great Bridge Intermediate, though: Hickory Elementary leads in 5th grade science (91.20% vs. 77.22%), 4th grade reading (99.12% vs. 85.41%), and 4th grade VA Studies (96.46% vs. 79.91%), while Butts Road Intermediate, Grassfield Elementary, Cedar Road Elementary, and Southeastern Elementary all rank higher statewide.

Great Bridge Intermediate also operates efficiently: at $8,769 per student, it spends less than every nearby school — including Southeastern Elementary ($11,548) and Grassfield Elementary ($9,908) — while carrying a higher student-teacher ratio of 18.2. Subgroup results are mixed: Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students perform very well (88th and 86th percentiles statewide), while White, multiracial, disabled, and military-connected students fall in the 45th–69th percentile range. Overall, the school remains solid and well-attended, but its slide from elite to above-average — and intense competition from nearby schools — makes it worth watching.
