Norfolk Public Schools Zoning for Lamberts Point
Lamberts Point is served by Norfolk Public Schools, and the neighborhood elementary school is James Monroe Elementary at 520 W. 29th Street, a PK-5 school that carries a GreatSchools rating of 4 out of 10 [2](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/norfolk/1221-James-Monroe-Elementary-School/). Because Lamberts Point has a significant rental and student population from nearby Old Dominion University, family enrollment patterns here can differ from a typical residential neighborhood, but zoning still applies the same way to any household with school-age children.
Middle and high school assignment in this part of Norfolk can vary by exact address, so I recommend confirming your specific zone with Norfolk Public Schools rather than assuming based on the neighborhood alone.
Confirming Your Zone
Norfolk Public Schools publishes attendance zone maps and can confirm assignment by address through the division office. Given how many buyers here also compare nearby options like Larchmont and Ghent, I recommend checking zoning for any specific property before making school quality part of your buying decision.
On Ratings
Ratings like James Monroe Elementary's shift as new state testing data comes in each year, so I'd encourage you to check greatschools.org directly for the most current numbers. If school performance is a priority, I'm glad to pull the current verified numbers with you for the exact schools your address would be zoned for.
