Summary

Rosemont Elementary is a PK-5 school in Virginia Beach, VA serving 387 students within Virginia Beach City Public Schools. The school serves a predominantly high-poverty population, with 76.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In 2025–2026, Rosemont Elementary ranked 517th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars), a meaningful rebound from the previous year's 648th-place finish (42nd percentile, 2 stars).

Rosemont's most distinctive strength is its 5th-grade performance. In 2025–2026, 5th graders scored 89.83% proficient in reading and 81.36% in science—both well above district and state averages. That's particularly notable for a school with high poverty. However, earlier grades are weaker: 3rd grade math proficiency was just 60% compared to 79.24% districtwide. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, falling from 20.5% in 2022–2023 to 9.6% in 2024–2025—now below both district (10.1%) and state (14.8%) averages. The school also stands out for resources, with a 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio and $19,897 per-pupil spending, well above nearby averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Rosemont is a middle performer in a very mixed cluster. It outperforms high-poverty neighbors like Green Run Elementary, Parkway Elementary, and Holland Elementary, but trails far behind affluent schools like New Castle Elementary, Salem Elementary, and Rosemont Forest Elementary. Rosemont was once an elite school, ranking 51st in Virginia in 2017–2018, and while it hasn't returned to that level, the recent upward trend, strong resources, and improving attendance make it one of the more encouraging schools to watch in the area.
