Class loads run heavy: 16.4:1 is larger than about 86% of Virginia schools and 18% above the 13.9:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 45.6% lands close to the Virginia typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 689 puts it in the larger third of Virginia schools by headcount.

Among Virginia Beach's public schools, it stands alongside Glenwood Elementary (896 students): Woodstock Elementary is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (16.4:1 vs 14.2:1).
