Summary

Little Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Norfolk, Virginia, serving 592 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Norfolk City Public Schools district, which is ranked 109 out of 129 school districts in the state.

Little Creek Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Virginia elementary schools, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading significantly below the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Military Connected students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Little Creek Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 20.2% over the past few years, which are much higher than the state and district averages.

While Little Creek Elementary is the lowest-performing school in the immediate vicinity, some nearby schools, such as Mary Calcott Elementary and Tarrallton Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates 10-20 percentage points higher than Little Creek in many subject areas. These higher-performing schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and serve a similar demographic of students, suggesting that the low performance of Little Creek Elementary may not be solely due to the socioeconomic status of its student population.
