Summary

Windsor Woods Elementary is a PK–5 school in Virginia Beach, VA, serving 487 students in the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district. The school ranks 289th of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (74th percentile) with a 4-star rating, placing it well above the state median and making it one of the strongest-performing elementary schools in its immediate area.

Despite a high poverty rate (73.9% free/reduced-price lunch eligibility), Windsor Woods outperforms nearly all of its nearby peers. Within roughly 2.3 miles, only Kingston Elementary (94th percentile) ranks higher; neighboring schools like Windsor Oaks Elementary, Malibu Elementary, and Thalia Elementary all sit in lower percentile ranges despite similar student demographics. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 4.9% — about one-third the state average of 14.8% — suggesting a positive school climate and strong family engagement. Academically, Windsor Woods beats district and state proficiency rates in nearly every subject, with standout results in 5th-grade social studies (88.6%) and reading (85.7%), plus consistently strong math across all grade levels.

Windsor Woods also delivers strong outcomes for economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide for that subgroup, while spending $17,835 per student — less than neighboring schools like Green Run Elementary ($20,505) and Holland Elementary ($18,577) that post significantly lower results. The main opportunities for growth are 3rd-grade reading (slightly below the district) and achievement gaps for some student subgroups, including military-connected students. Overall, Windsor Woods is a stable, efficient school that performs well above expectations given its demographics, making it a standout choice among high-poverty schools in Virginia Beach.
