Summary

Seaford Elementary in Seaford, VA, is a K–5 school serving 552 students in York County Public Schools, a district ranked 6th out of 131 in Virginia. For 2025-2026, Seaford ranks 59th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools—top 5% statewide—with a 5-star rating. That makes it the highest-ranked elementary in its immediate cluster, just ahead of Tabb Elementary (61st) and Mount Vernon Elementary (83rd), and far ahead of nearby Newport News schools like Oliver C. Greenwood Elementary (752nd).

Academically, Seaford is exceptional. Every tested grade and subject exceeds 85% proficiency, with 3rd grade reading at 95.65% (vs. 67.61% statewide) and 3rd grade math at 94.20% (vs. 74.04%). The school outperforms the state by 17 to 28 percentage points across nearly every measure. Early literacy is a signature strength, and results for low-income students (98th percentile statewide) and African American students (97th percentile) show strong outcomes for groups that often face achievement gaps elsewhere.

Seaford also excels at attendance: chronic absenteeism is just 7.9% versus 14.8% statewide. The school spends $11,211 per student, above most York County peers like Tabb ($8,227) and Mount Vernon ($9,804). Its student-teacher ratio of 17.8 is the highest among local York County elementaries, yet outcomes stay top-tier—suggesting instructional quality and support systems matter more than class size. Two areas worth monitoring: students with disabilities rank in the 56th percentile statewide, and a gender gap has emerged, with female students ranking 34th versus 122nd for male students.
