Landstown's Own School Cluster
Landstown is unusual in that it has its own named elementary, middle and high school right in the neighborhood: Landstown Elementary, Landstown Middle School and Landstown High School. That naming isn't a coincidence; these schools were built to serve this fast-growing part of Virginia Beach, and many families choose the area specifically because they want their kids in this cluster.
As with any Virginia Beach neighborhood, exact attendance zones can vary block by block, especially near the edges of the area, so I never assume a specific address is zoned to a specific school without checking first.
What to Know About Each School
Landstown Elementary serves pre-K through fifth grade, offers a Gifted & Talented program, and carries a GreatSchools rating of 4 out of 10 [1](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/virginia-beach/1739-Landstown-Elementary-School/). Landstown Middle School, which also offers Gifted & Talented programming along with several sports, carries a GreatSchools rating of 8 out of 10 [2](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/virginia-beach/1737-Landstown-Middle-School/). Landstown High School is a magnet school offering AP coursework, Project Lead The Way programming and multiple sports, serves grades 9 through 12, and carries a GreatSchools rating of 6 out of 10 [3](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/virginia-beach/2703-Landstown-High-School/).
GreatSchools ratings shift as new state testing data comes in each year, so treat any rating as a snapshot rather than a permanent grade. If test scores, specific programs or class sizes matter most to your family, I'd encourage you to look at each school's current profile directly, and visit or contact the school when you can, rather than relying on a rating alone.
I hear from a good number of buyers who choose Landstown specifically because they like the idea of their kids moving through one consistent school cluster from elementary through graduation, and that continuity is part of the neighborhood's appeal.
Confirm Zoning Before You Buy
The single most important step for any school-focused buyer is to confirm the exact assigned schools for the address you're considering, not just the general neighborhood. Virginia Beach City Public Schools maintains an online school locator, and I check it for every listing where schools are a priority for my buyers, since boundaries can shift as enrollment changes across the city.
If schools are a top priority in your search, tell me early so I can filter listings accordingly. And if you're comparing Landstown against other parts of the city, my buying guide and selling guide for the neighborhood cover the rest of what to expect.
