Summary

Windsor Oaks Elementary is a PK-5 school in Virginia Beach, VA, serving 497 students as part of Virginia Beach City Public Schools, a district rated 4 stars and ranked 29th out of 131 districts in Virginia. The school ranks 542nd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (51st percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26, up from 607th the year before. It sits in the middle of its cluster: it outperforms Holland, Thalia, White Oaks, Lynnhaven, Brookwood, Green Run, and Parkway, but trails Windsor Woods, Rosemont, and Malibu.

Windsor Oaks' most distinctive strength is how well it serves high-need students. It ranks in the top quarter of Virginia schools for Hispanic students (80th percentile) and low-income students (77th percentile), a remarkable result given that 76.7% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 17.4% in 2022-23 to 11.4% in 2024-25, now below the state average. Academically, the school meets or beats state averages in several subjects, including 4th grade reading (78.9% vs. 73.7% statewide) and 5th grade reading (78.1% vs. 72.4%). Overall momentum is positive, with low-income students jumping from the 54th to the 77th percentile.

The clearest gap is for military-connected students, who rank in the 20th percentile — down sharply from the 56th percentile in 2023-24. White students also trail the school's overall performance. A useful comparison is nearby Windsor Woods Elementary, which has nearly identical poverty rates (73.9% vs. 76.7%) yet consistently earns 4 stars and beats Windsor Oaks by double digits in several subjects, with far lower chronic absenteeism (4.9% vs. 11.4%). That suggests poverty alone doesn't explain the gap, and Windsor Oaks could benefit from studying Windsor Woods' attendance and instructional practices. Per-student spending ($16,707) falls mid-range among nearby schools.
