Summary

Green Run Elementary is a PK–5 school in Virginia Beach, VA, serving 350 students as part of Virginia Beach City Public Schools. In the 2025–2026 state rankings, the school placed 801st out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — the 28th percentile with a 1-star rating — a significant decline from 2023–2024, when it ranked 568th (49th percentile, 2 stars). Green Run serves an exceptionally high-need population, with essentially 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, one of the highest rates in its cluster.

Academically, Green Run trails its district in nearly every subject. The most pressing concern is reading: 3rd-grade reading proficiency is 56.3% versus 75.8% districtwide, and 4th-grade reading is 58.5% versus an 80.5% district average — a 22-point gap. By comparison, nearby Holland Elementary, located less than half a mile away, posts an 82.5% proficiency in 4th-grade reading with a similarly high-need population. Even Windsor Woods Elementary, with a 73.9% poverty rate, ranks in the 74th percentile statewide — far above Green Run's 28th. There is one bright spot: 5th-grade VA Studies reached 78% proficiency, matching the district and beating the state.

The school's own data reveals uneven outcomes by subgroup. Female students rank in the 12th percentile (1 star) compared with the 50th percentile for male students, and military-connected students have fallen from the 41st percentile in 2022–2023 to just the 10th percentile in 2024–2025 — a sign that targeted support may be needed for these groups. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 20.3% to 13.2%, though it remains above the district average and well above nearby Rosemont Forest Elementary (2.0%) and Lynnhaven Elementary (3.7%). Green Run also spends more per student ($20,505) than any nearby school and has a lower student-teacher ratio (11.5) than peers like Brookwood Elementary (13.7) and Windsor Woods (12.8) — yet outcomes remain below expectations. The school's reading difficulty and subgroup gaps signal that funding alone isn't the issue; more consistent, targeted instructional strategies are needed.

The teachers really care about the students. The new principal is very hands on and active. The only real area of improvement needed is parental involvement. Close Quote
