Summary:

Zip code 23453 is home to one high school, Green Run Collegiate, which serves grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 390 students. The school is part of Virginia Beach City Public Schools, a district ranked 29th out of 131 districts statewide, earning a 4-star rating. The data spans the 2023–2024 through 2025–2026 school years and covers rankings, test proficiency, graduation rates, attendance, poverty levels, and spending.

Green Run Collegiate stands out as a high-performing school despite serving a student body where 85.9% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. It achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate in 2024–2025, compared to 96.8% for the district and 92.3% for the state, along with a 0.0% dropout rate. The school ranks in the top quarter of Virginia high schools, with its best year placing 58th out of 328 schools in 2024–2025 (82nd percentile) and a current rank of 73rd out of 331 for 2025–2026. Perhaps most remarkably, 100% of 11th graders scored proficient on the SOL English Reading exam in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, far exceeding the state averages of roughly 88%. Chronic absenteeism runs at just 6.9%, less than half the state rate, further supporting strong student engagement and consistent attendance.

Test proficiency remains strong across most subjects, with 10th-grade Writing at 86.2% and Algebra I at 92.7% in 2025–2026, both above state averages. The school also posts unusually high Algebra II scores for 9th graders, suggesting an accelerated math pathway. One notable anomaly occurred in 2024–2025, when 11th-grade Writing proficiency fell to 50%, well below district and state averages—likely affected by a very small cohort. Biology proficiency in 2025–2026 (86.8%) trails the district by nearly 6 points, though it still slightly exceeds the state. With a 12.4:1 student–teacher ratio and $15,769 in per-student spending, Green Run Collegiate provides small classes and substantial resources that appear to drive its exceptional outcomes, making it a true standout among high-poverty schools.
