Summary

Glenwood Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Virginia Beach, VA, serving 896 students as part of Virginia Beach City Public Schools, a district ranked in the 78th percentile statewide. Glenwood is one of the larger elementary schools in its cluster, and it serves a community where about 45% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite that, the school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks 218th out of 1,111 elementary schools statewide — putting it in the top 20% of Virginia schools.

Glenwood's 5th graders are especially strong. In 2025–2026, 91.7% scored proficient in math, 90.2% in reading, 84.2% in science, and 90.6% in Virginia Studies — all well above district and state averages. The school also posts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 5.8%, down from 13.8% two years earlier and far below the state average of 14.8%. Glenwood is particularly effective at supporting students who often face extra barriers: low-income students, Hispanic students, and English learners all rank in the 90th percentile or higher statewide. The school achieves these results while spending about $14,349 per student, less than nearby schools like Rosemont Elementary ($19,897) and Parkway Elementary ($18,913) that have weaker outcomes.

That said, there are a few areas worth watching. Glenwood's military-connected students ranked only in the 17th percentile in 2025–2026, a sharp drop from the mid-50s in prior years, which is surprising given Virginia Beach's large military community. Students with disabilities (32nd percentile) and multiracial students (59th percentile) also show softer results. In 3rd grade reading, Glenwood's 74.7% proficiency is just below the district average and trails standouts like New Castle Elementary (89.3%) and Centerville Elementary (86.9%) — though by 5th grade, Glenwood's reading proficiency jumps to 90.2%. Nearby schools New Castle Elementary (39th), Salem Elementary (122nd), and Centerville Elementary (136th) rank higher overall, but Glenwood remains a solid, reliable choice that outranks most other schools in its immediate area.
