Larkspur's Assigned Schools
Larkspur falls within Virginia Beach City Public Schools, and homes in the neighborhood are generally zoned to Kempsville Meadows Elementary, Larkspur Middle School and Kempsville High School. Larkspur Middle School actually sits within the neighborhood itself, along Princess Anne Road, which is a nice everyday convenience for local families.
Virginia Beach periodically reviews and adjusts attendance zones as enrollment shifts across the city, and Larkspur Middle in particular has been part of recent rezoning discussions affecting some nearby streets. Because of that, I always recommend confirming the current zoning for a specific address directly with Virginia Beach City Public Schools before you buy, rather than assuming based on the neighborhood name.
What I Know About Larkspur Middle
Larkspur Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6 through 8, with a Gifted & Talented program and multiple sports offerings. I verified its current GreatSchools rating directly on greatschools.org rather than relying on secondhand summaries, and it currently carries a 5 out of 10 overall rating.
A single rating number is a starting point, not the whole picture. If schools are a priority in your search, I'd encourage you to look at the detailed test score, academic progress and equity breakdowns on GreatSchools, and ideally visit or contact the school directly.
Confirm Before You Buy
Because school attendance zones can and do shift, sometimes even within a single neighborhood, I verify current zoning for any specific Larkspur address using Virginia Beach City Public Schools' official school locator before we write an offer with schools as a priority.
If you're just starting your search, my buying in Larkspur guide covers the rest of what you need to know about the neighborhood, and my selling in Larkspur guide is there if you're on the other side of the transaction.
