Summary

Grassfield Elementary is a large PK–5 public school in Chesapeake, VA, serving 1,306 students as part of Chesapeake City Public Schools. The school is consistently one of Virginia's top elementary schools, ranking 116th out of 1,111 schools statewide (90th percentile) in 2025–2026, with proficiency rates well above district and state averages in every subject and grade level — including 5th-grade math (94.1% vs. 72.4% statewide) and 5th-grade reading (90.9% vs. 72.4% statewide).

What really sets Grassfield apart is its results for student subgroups. Hispanic students rank in the 98th percentile statewide, and African American and low-income students rank in the 89th–90th percentile — exceptional outcomes for a school where only 15.3% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at 4.3%, less than one-third of the state average. The one clear area for improvement is students with disabilities, who rank near the middle of the state (50th percentile).

Compared to nearby schools, Grassfield is the strongest performer in its immediate area. It outranks Deep Creek Central Elementary (116th vs. 315th) and Great Bridge Intermediate (116th vs. 196th) by wide margins. Its closest peer, Cedar Road Elementary, ranks nearly identically (120th), though Grassfield is stronger in 4th- and 5th-grade math and 5th-grade reading. Schools serving higher-poverty populations, such as Camelot Elementary and G.A. Treakle Elementary, spend more per student but have far lower proficiency rates. Grassfield proves that a large school can deliver top-tier academics, strong subgroup equity, and excellent attendance all at once.
