Larchmont Elementary: A Neighborhood Draw
Larchmont Elementary School, located at 1145 Bolling Avenue right in the neighborhood, serves grades PK through 5 and carries a verified 8/10 GreatSchools rating as of this writing, making it one of the more sought-after elementary schools in Norfolk Public Schools. It's a genuine reason many family buyers target this specific neighborhood over comparable nearby options.
Norfolk Public Schools has recently adjusted boundary lines feeding into Larchmont Elementary, including additional planning units from Taylor Elementary, so I recommend confirming your exact assignment for any specific address rather than assuming based on the neighborhood name alone.
Middle and High School Assignment
Middle and high school zoning for Larchmont should be confirmed directly with Norfolk Public Schools, since assignment can vary by block and boundary lines have shifted in recent redistricting cycles. I have not independently verified a single, stable middle or high school assignment for the whole neighborhood, so I'd rather send you to the source than guess.
Norfolk Public Schools' school zone maps and division office can confirm the current answer for any address you're considering.
On Ratings
I only include a GreatSchools rating when I've verified it directly on greatschools.org, which is why Larchmont Elementary's rating appears above but middle and high school ratings don't. Once we've confirmed your zoned middle and high school, I'm glad to look up their current ratings with you.
