Summary

Red Mill Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Virginia Beach, VA, serving 586 students in the Virginia Beach City Public Schools district, and it ranks among the strongest elementary schools in the state at 109th out of 1,111 schools (90th percentile, 5 stars) for 2025-2026. The school has ranked in the 90th percentile or higher in 9 of the last 10 school years, and it exceeds both district and state averages in every subject and grade level tested on Virginia's SOL assessments—including a perfect 100% pass rate on 3rd grade math and reading scores ranging from 87.7% to 91.1% across grades 3–5. Just 14.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a relatively low-poverty community.

Attendance is a major strength. Red Mill's chronic absenteeism rate is just 5.2%, less than half the district rate (10.1%) and about one-third the state rate (14.8%). This consistency likely contributes to the school's sustained academic success. Red Mill is also notably efficient: it achieves top-decile results with a student-teacher ratio of 18.1 and per-student spending of about $14,641, outperforming several nearby schools that spend considerably more per student.

Red Mill sits in an elite cluster of southern Virginia Beach schools. Its close neighbors—Three Oaks Elementary (0.84 miles), Strawbridge Elementary (1.61 miles), Princess Anne Elementary (1.86 miles), and North Landing Elementary (4.12 miles)—all rank in the 91st–96th percentile statewide. Red Mill leads this group in 3rd grade math and matches or beats most in 5th grade science, though it trails by a few points in 4th and 5th grade reading and math. The contrast with higher-poverty schools like Birdneck Elementary and Seatack Elementary an Achievable Dream Academy is stark: those schools spend $17,916–$19,274 per student yet rank in the 13th–23rd percentile. Areas Red Mill will want to watch include outcomes for students with disabilities and military-connected students, both of which have softened in recent years after strong showings.
