Summary

Rosemont Forest Elementary is a PK–5 school in Virginia Beach City Public Schools serving 497 students in a moderately affluent area of Virginia Beach, where roughly 30% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The school carries a 4-star state rating and ranks in the 74th percentile of Virginia elementary schools — solidly in the top quarter of the state. One of its biggest strengths is attendance: just 2.0% of students are chronically absent, compared to 10.1% districtwide and 14.8% statewide. That's also better than nearby New Castle Elementary (2.9%) and Salem Elementary (6.3%).

Academically, reading is a consistent schoolwide strength. In 2025–26, Rosemont Forest beat the district in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade reading, with proficiency rates between 83.9% and 85.2%. Math is strongest in the upper grades — 5th grade math has been well above the district for four straight years, and 4th grade math hit 87.1% in 2025–26. Virginia Studies is another hidden gem, with scores consistently well above district averages. The school also outperforms several nearby schools with higher poverty rates, including Green Run Elementary, Parkway Elementary, and Rosemont Elementary, often by double digits.

That said, there are areas worth watching. The school's overall ranking has drifted from the 87th percentile in 2021–22 to the 74th percentile this year. Third-grade math (76.8%) came in below the district average, and outcomes for students with disabilities and military-connected students trail the school's overall performance. Nearby Salem Elementary, which has similar demographics, posted higher proficiency on nearly every 2025–26 SOL test despite higher chronic absenteeism. Still, with exceptional attendance, strong reading, and a clear upward trajectory in upper-grade math, Rosemont Forest remains a dependable, above-average choice for families.

Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Love this school, we started here last year after moving back from Hawaii. The new principal that joined the school a month after we got here is fabulous. He listens to the parents and has made so many great changes to the school. The teachers we have had are top notch and so caring. Communication is great. We are a military family and this is our fourth elementary school in 3 different states (CT, VA, HI and VA again). This by far has been the best and i just love how great the communication is with my kids teachers and the new principal Close Quote
