Ratings from GreatSchools.org, checked Sept 2026. Ratings change, and school zones vary by address — always confirm the assigned schools with Chesapeake Public Schools.

Chesapeake Public Schools

Georgetown falls within Chesapeake Public Schools. Because the neighborhood sits near boundary lines shared with several nearby zones, I always recommend confirming current attendance zoning directly with the school division for any specific address rather than assuming based on the neighborhood name alone.

School zones are just one piece of the search. Here's how I help families as your Hampton Roads buyer's agent.

Elementary, Middle and High Schools

Georgetown is generally served by Georgetown Primary School (PK-3), which carries a GreatSchools rating of 3 out of 10 [2](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/chesapeake/295-Georgetown-Primary-School/), Indian River Middle School (6-8), rated 3 out of 10 [3](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/chesapeake/301-Indian-River-Middle-School/), and Indian River High School (9-12), rated 4 out of 10 [4](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/chesapeake/300-Indian-River-High-School/), in addition to the SchoolDigger data already noted [1](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/VA/schools/0081000299/school.aspx).

Enrollment and attendance boundaries in this part of Chesapeake have shifted over the years as the city has grown, so I recommend confirming zoning fresh for any home you're seriously considering rather than relying on older listings or word of mouth.

Confirm Before You Buy

Before writing an offer, pull the current attendance zone for a specific property through Chesapeake Public Schools' zone locator. For more on the neighborhood itself, see my Georgetown buyer's guide and Georgetown seller's guide, or start with my Chesapeake overview.
