Summary:
The 23505 zip code area of Norfolk, Virginia is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 high school. This diverse community faces significant economic challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all the schools.
Granby High School stands out as the largest school in the area, with over 1,800 students, and has a higher percentage of African American students compared to the other schools. While Granby High's test scores are generally higher than the Norfolk City Public Schools and Virginia state averages, the school has a low statewide ranking and a 1-out-of-5-star rating. In contrast, Sewells Point Elementary has a more diverse student population and its test scores exceed the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and English reading.
The other elementary schools in the 23505 zip code, including Granby Elementary, Suburban Park Elementary, and Camp Allen Elementary, face greater challenges, with lower test scores and higher rates of economic disadvantage among their student populations. These disparities in school performance suggest that factors beyond just funding and student demographics may be contributing to the differences in academic outcomes within this community.
