Norfolk Public Schools Zoning for Ballentine Place
Ballentine Place is served by Norfolk Public Schools. Based on current published attendance data, elementary students in this neighborhood are generally zoned to Coleman Place Elementary School, with middle school students zoned to either Azalea Middle School or Norview Middle School and high school students zoned to either Maury High School or Norview High School depending on the specific address.
Because attendance zones can vary block by block, and Norfolk Public Schools has been actively rezoning and consolidating schools in recent years, I always tell buyers to confirm the exact zoning for a specific address directly with the school division before assuming anything based on the neighborhood name alone.
What I Tell Buyers About These Schools
Coleman Place Elementary carries a GreatSchools rating of 2 out of 10, and Maury High School carries a rating of 3 out of 10. These ratings reflect statewide test-score comparisons and are only one piece of the picture; I encourage families to also tour in person, talk with the school directly about specific programs, and look at how a school supports the needs of their particular child.
If school quality is a top priority for your search, tell me early. I can help you compare Ballentine Place against nearby Norfolk neighborhoods zoned for different schools, including areas covered in my guides to Fairmount Park and Park Place.
Families should also ask each school directly about specialized programs, since Norfolk Public Schools offers gifted and talented options and magnet programs at select schools that aren't always obvious from a ratings number alone.
