Which Schools Serve Kings Grant

Kings Grant is large enough that it's split between two elementary school zones. Much of the core neighborhood is zoned to Kingston Elementary School (PK-5) right on Kings Grant Road, while other streets, particularly toward North Lynnhaven Road, are zoned to King's Grant Elementary School (PK-5). On GreatSchools.org, Kingston Elementary currently carries a 10 out of 10 rating, and King's Grant Elementary carries an 8 out of 10 rating.

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

For middle school, Kings Grant streets are zoned to either Lynnhaven Middle School or Great Neck Middle School depending on address, and for high school, students are zoned to either First Colonial High School or Frank W. Cox High School, again depending on the specific street.

Why the Split Zoning Matters When You're Touring

Because Kings Grant spans more than one elementary, middle and high school zone, two homes a few streets apart can be zoned to entirely different schools. If a specific school is a priority for your family, don't assume based on the neighborhood name alone; confirm zoning for the exact address before you fall in love with a house.

I pull attendance zone confirmation for every Kings Grant listing I show buyers with school-age kids, and I'd encourage you to do the same with any home you're seriously considering, since zone lines can also shift over time as Virginia Beach City Public Schools adjusts capacity.

Confirm Zoning With the School Division

Attendance zones can change, and the most reliable source is always Virginia Beach City Public Schools directly. Use the VBCPS school locator tool with the exact street address before you buy, rather than relying on a listing description or a neighborhood's general reputation.
