Summary

Tarrallton Elementary is a small public school in Norfolk, VA, serving 286 students in grades PK–5 within the Norfolk City Public Schools district. The district itself ranks in the bottom 15% of Virginia school systems, but Tarrallton is a clear exception to that pattern, earning a statewide rank of 403rd out of 1,111 elementary schools (64th percentile, 3 stars) for the 2025–2026 school year — a substantial jump from the previous year's 48th percentile.

Academically, Tarrallton outperforms its district in every tested subject and grade level. In 5th grade, 91.67% of students passed the reading SOL, 86.11% passed math, and 86.11% passed science — all well above state averages and roughly 30 points above district averages. Even in 4th grade math, the school's lowest-scoring subject at 63.89%, Tarrallton still beat the district by 7.5 points. Among the ten nearby schools compared, only Mary Calcott Elementary (42nd percentile) and Larrymore Elementary (47th percentile) ranked above the 50th percentile in 2025–2026 — neither comes close to Tarrallton's 64th percentile.

What makes Tarrallton's success even more notable is that 99.65% of its students are economically disadvantaged. The school also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the area at 8.2% (compared to the district's 17.9%), the highest per-pupil spending at $12,141 among nearby schools, and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.0. Tarrallton earns 4-star ratings for its work with economically disadvantaged, female, and disabled students. One area of concern is military-connected students, who rank in the 26th percentile statewide. With strong attendance, targeted resources, and a small-school environment, Tarrallton stands out as a high-performing option in Norfolk.
