Good Schools? - Virginia Beach,VA

It all depends on where you live in Va Beach. There are a lot of good schools and only a few not so good schools in Va Beach. They all passed the SOL's every year they've been out. The Great Neck Area is good - Trantwood Ele., Alanton, Linkhorn Bay, John B. Dey are all good schools. My son went to Linkhorn for Kindergarten and it's a wonderful school! Also, the Kempsville Area is really good too - Arrowhead Ele and Kempsville Ele. I would try to stay away from the Green Run area; that's one of the not so great school areas. Hope this helps!

Hi D.. My son isnt quite in school yet ( 10 months) but I have lived in Virginia Beach most of my life. There are a few year round schools around here abd I recommend Point-O-View elementary, it is located in Kempsville. My brother went to that school and he did really well when they swichted to year round..cant beat a month off for christmas either! I did a few internships a Kempsville elementary and absolutly love the school. They are not year round and they just remolded a few years back and the teachers are just plain awesome. Hope that helps!

I have been doing a lot of research on the schools around here lately because we are looking to buy a house. My son attends W.T. Cooke, he's in 2nd and went there 1st greade also. I am very happy with Cooke, also Alanton and Linkhorn are great schools. I would stay away from Birdneck and Bayside schools. Greatschools.com is a wonderful website that has tons of info on all the schools.

I really think all the schools in va beach are great. I went to centerville myself, I have tutored at Indian Lakes and My boss sends her son to Linkhorn. So really, now that you're here, you cant lose!
