Which Schools Serve Cahoon Plantation
Cahoon Plantation falls within Chesapeake Public Schools, and homes in this part of the Cedar Road corridor are commonly zoned to Cedar Road Elementary School (grades PK-5), with Great Bridge Middle School (grades 6-8) and Great Bridge High School (grades 9-12) serving much of the surrounding Great Bridge planning area.
Chesapeake has been actively rezoning elementary attendance lines in this part of the city as new schools come online, including a new elementary school under construction in the Culpepper Landing area of Deep Creek, so a specific street's assignment can change from year to year. Always confirm zoning for the exact address with Chesapeake Public Schools' school zones office before you buy or sell based on a particular school.
Cedar Road Elementary
Cedar Road Elementary sits on Cedar Road in the heart of this part of Chesapeake and serves grades pre-K through 5, offering a Gifted & Talented program alongside its regular curriculum. On GreatSchools, Cedar Road Elementary carries an 8 out of 10 rating, reflecting above-average performance compared to other Virginia schools with the same grade levels.
Families I work with in this area often ask about the school's size and attendance rates specifically, since a close-knit elementary community is one of the draws of buying in this part of Chesapeake rather than in a much larger subdivision zone.
Great Bridge Middle and Great Bridge High
Great Bridge Middle School serves grades 6 through 8 and carries a 9 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, putting it among the stronger-performing middle schools in the city. Great Bridge High School, serving grades 9 through 12, is rated 7 out of 10 on GreatSchools and has earned a College Success Award for its work preparing graduates for college.
Both schools sit within a short drive of Cahoon Plantation along the Battlefield Boulevard and Cedar Road corridors, which is part of why this pocket of Chesapeake stays popular with families even as new construction pulls buyers farther south.
Confirming Your Zoning
Because attendance zones shift as Chesapeake grows and new schools open, I always recommend verifying the assigned elementary, middle and high school for a specific address directly with Chesapeake Public Schools before making a decision based on schools alone. Their [school zones lookup](https://www.cpschools.com) and enrollment office can confirm current boundaries.
