Summary

College Park Elementary is a PK–5 school in Virginia Beach, VA, serving 496 students as part of Virginia Beach City Public Schools. The school serves an almost entirely economically disadvantaged population, with free/reduced-price lunch eligibility at or above 100% in recent years, and it ranks 602nd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (46th percentile, 2 stars). After a difficult 2022–2023 year when it ranked in the 27th percentile, the school has improved substantially and held steady over the past two years.

College Park stands out among nearby schools for its resources. At $18,204 per pupil, it spends roughly 19–27% more than Tallwood Elementary, Fairfield Elementary, and Woodstock Elementary, and its 12.9 student–teacher ratio is the lowest in the area. The school has also made remarkable progress on attendance: chronic absenteeism fell from 19.6% in 2021–2022 to 9.3% in 2024–2025, now below both district and state averages. Subgroup results are a notable bright spot — African American, Hispanic, and low-income students all earn 3-star ratings, with the school ranking at the 58th–69th percentile for low-SES students statewide.

The clearest challenges are subject-area inconsistency and a persistent weakness in Virginia Studies. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade math proficiency hit 84%, while 4th grade math fell to just 57% — a 27-point gap that reflects small cohort sizes rather than a stable pattern. Virginia Studies has lagged district and state averages for three straight years, though it improved dramatically to 70.83% in 2025–2026. Overall, College Park's performance is closest to Woodstock Elementary, less than a mile away, with both schools ranking in the mid-40th percentile but showing strengths in different grades and subjects.
