Summary

Princess Anne Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Virginia Beach, VA, serving 654 students in the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district. The school has an exceptional track record: it ranked 72nd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 94th percentile with a 5-star rating, and it has finished in the 87th–98th percentile every year since 2015–2016, including back-to-back 98th-percentile finishes in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025.

Academically, Princess Anne's SOL proficiency rates dramatically outpace district and state averages. In math, 95.5% of 3rd graders, 95.0% of 4th graders, and 92.2% of 5th graders passed — roughly 15–20 points above the state average. That 4th-grade math score is the highest among nearby schools like New Castle Elementary (91.4%), Three Oaks Elementary (86.3%), and Strawbridge Elementary (87.9%). Reading is also strong — 89.0% (3rd), 88.2% (4th), and 91.4% (5th) — though Strawbridge Elementary (95.7%) and North Landing Elementary (95.0%) post even higher 4th-grade reading scores. Princess Anne leads nearby schools in 5th-grade Virginia Studies at 93.7%, and its 5th-grade science score of 78.9% is solid, if slightly behind New Castle Elementary (87.2%) and Strawbridge Elementary (85.9%).

Princess Anne also stands out for very low chronic absenteeism — just 5.6% in 2024–2025, roughly half the district rate of 10.1% and well below the state's 14.8%. The school serves a relatively affluent population (11.2% free/reduced-price lunch), and its low-income students score in the 93rd–95th percentile statewide, while Hispanic students ranked 2nd in the entire state in 2024–2025. Per-pupil spending of $14,607 is lower than several lower-performing nearby schools, including Birdneck Elementary ($17,916) and Corporate Landing Elementary ($19,029). One area to watch: the school dipped from the 98th to 94th percentile in 2025–2026, and military-connected student rankings declined from the 83rd to 61st percentile over two years, so continued attention to that group will be important.
