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

Grassfield falls within Chesapeake Public Schools. This is one of the more actively growing parts of the city, and attendance zones have been adjusted before as new elementary schools have opened nearby, so I recommend confirming current zoning directly with the school division for any address you're considering rather than assuming based on the neighborhood name.

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

Grassfield is generally served by Grassfield Elementary School, Hugo A. Owens Middle School (6-8), and Grassfield High School (9-12), which opened in 2007 and serves as the city's location for its STEM program [1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassfield_High_School). Grassfield High is accredited under Virginia's most recent state accreditation review [2](https://schoolquality.virginia.gov/schools/grassfield-high).

Grassfield Elementary carries a GreatSchools rating of 10 out of 10, Hugo A. Owens Middle School is rated 8 out of 10, and Grassfield High is rated 9 out of 10 [4](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/chesapeake/3009-Grassfield-Elementary-School/). Note that Grassfield Elementary has operated above capacity in recent years, and the school division has approved rezoning tied to a new elementary school opening nearby in 2027, which could affect boundaries over time [3](https://www.wtkr.com/news/in-the-community/chesapeake/chesapeake-school-board-finalizes-rezoning-plan-for-new-elementary-school-in-culpepper-landing).

Confirm Before You Buy

Given the pace of growth and rezoning activity in this part of Chesapeake, always pull the current attendance zone for a specific property through the school division before writing an offer.
