Schools Serving Little Neck, Virginia Beach VA

Which Schools Serve Little Neck

Homes in Little Neck are generally zoned for Kingston Elementary School, Lynnhaven Middle School and First Colonial High School within Virginia Beach City Public Schools, though attendance zones can shift and individual streets near the edges of the neighborhood sometimes fall into a different zone than you'd expect. Before you buy or list a home here, I always recommend confirming the exact zoning for that address directly with Virginia Beach City Public Schools' school locator, since I never want a client to assume based on the neighborhood name alone.

These three schools have long been associated with the neighborhood, and Little Neck families often mention the schools as one of the reasons they chose the area in the first place, alongside the water access and mature lots.

Because Virginia Beach City Public Schools periodically reviews attendance boundaries as enrollment shifts across the division, it's worth double-checking zoning even if you're familiar with how things have worked historically in this part of the city.

Elementary Through High School

Kingston Elementary serves the neighborhood's younger students and carries a GreatSchools rating of 10 out of 10 [1](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/virginia-beach/1771-Kingston-Elementary-School/). Lynnhaven Middle, which carries a GreatSchools rating of 7 out of 10 [2](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/virginia-beach/1775-Lynnhaven-Middle-School/), picks up from there, and First Colonial High School, home to a well-regarded Legal Studies Academy, serves as the zoned high school for most of Little Neck and carries a GreatSchools rating of 6 out of 10 [3](https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/virginia-beach/1758-First-Colonial-High-School/). Each of these schools sits within a reasonable drive of the neighborhood, which is part of why so many families with school-age kids are drawn here in the first place.

Ratings shift as new testing data comes in each year, so I'd encourage you to check GreatSchools.org directly for the most current numbers and reviews as part of your research.

Beyond the three zoned schools, Virginia Beach City Public Schools also offers a range of specialty programs and academies open to students division-wide through an application process, which is worth exploring if a specific academic focus matters to your family.

For families relocating from out of state or from overseas on military orders, I'm happy to talk through what to expect from the transition and point you toward the district's registration resources so the process feels less overwhelming.

Confirming Your Zone Before You Buy

Because school boundaries can change and don't always follow neighborhood lines exactly, the only reliable way to know which schools serve a specific Little Neck address is to check directly with Virginia Beach City Public Schools' official school locator tool, or call the district's zoning office. I do this for every buyer client before we get attached to a particular home, and I'd recommend doing the same before you fall in love with a house based on assumed zoning.

For more on buying or selling in the surrounding area, see my buying guide for Little Neck and selling guide for Little Neck, and for the wider city, my Virginia Beach overview.

I also recommend calling the school directly once you've confirmed zoning, since staff there can often answer specific questions about programs, before- and after-care options, and enrollment timelines that aren't always spelled out on the district's general website.
