The Great Bridge school pathway

Great Bridge has a clear pathway: Great Bridge Primary, Great Bridge Intermediate, Great Bridge Middle and Great Bridge High School. Several of these schools appear on GreatSchools' list of top-rated Chesapeake public schools.

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

On GreatSchools, [Great Bridge Primary](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/chesapeake/296-Great-Bridge-Primary-School/), [Great Bridge Intermediate](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/chesapeake/314-Great-Bridge-Intermediate-School/) and [Great Bridge Middle](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/chesapeake/297-Great-Bridge-Middle-School/) each rate 9/10. Great Bridge High School has a 7/10 GreatSchools rating, above average for Virginia. It offers AP courses and a Gifted & Talented program, and it has earned a GreatSchools College Success Award.

How schools affect Great Bridge home values

Homes zoned for the Great Bridge schools tend to attract many family buyers, which helps them sell faster and hold their value. Some subdivisions near the zone edges feed into other schools, like Hickory or Grassfield, so two similar homes a mile apart can have different assignments.

When you buy, I confirm the assigned schools for the exact address with Chesapeake Public Schools. When you sell, strong school zoning is one of the first things I highlight in your marketing.

Tips for touring schools

Call ahead to schedule a visit, look at the Virginia School Quality Profiles for test data and attendance, and talk with neighbors — Great Bridge parents are usually happy to share their experience.
