Summary

Creeds Elementary is a small PK-5 public school in the southern portion of Virginia Beach, VA, serving 333 students as part of Virginia Beach City Public Schools. The school has a strong historical track record, ranking in the top 100 elementary schools in Virginia for most years between 2015 and 2025. However, its most recent ranking of 282nd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (75th percentile, 4 stars) marks a notable step back from its 71st-place finish the prior year.

Creeds has several genuine strengths. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 4.8%, far below the district average of 10.1% and the state average of 14.8%. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $17,586 per pupil — the highest among nearby elementary schools — and maintaining a low 13.7 student-teacher ratio. That combination of strong attendance and small class sizes likely contributed to the school's excellent 3rd- and 4th-grade results, which remain well above district and state averages in both math and reading. Among nearby schools, only New Castle Elementary (2.9%) and Strawbridge Elementary (4.5%) have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

The main reason for the recent ranking drop is the 5th-grade cohort. Proficiency rates in 5th-grade math, reading, science, and Virginia Studies fell by 14 to 18 percentage points in the most recent year, placing Creeds below high-performing neighbors like New Castle Elementary, Strawbridge Elementary, Princess Anne Elementary, and Three Oaks Elementary. Subgroup rankings also declined broadly, with military-connected students dropping from the 84th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 30th percentile in 2025–2026. Even with these declines, Creeds remains above state averages in almost every tested subject. If 5th-grade scores rebound, the school has the resources, attendance, and early-grade performance to return to its former top-100 status.
