The Core Strawbridge School Zone
Most of Strawbridge is zoned to Strawbridge Elementary School, Corporate Landing Middle School and Ocean Lakes High School within Virginia Beach City Public Schools. Because the neighborhood sits near several attendance-zone boundaries, some streets, particularly on the neighborhood's edges, feed into Princess Anne Middle and Kellam High, or Landstown-area schools instead, so this is a case where confirming the exact zoning for a specific address really matters before you write an offer.
For buying and selling context on the neighborhood itself, see my Strawbridge buying guide and Strawbridge selling guide.
Virginia Beach City Public Schools updates its online school locator each year, and I recommend checking it directly with the specific address in hand rather than relying on a listing description, which can sometimes be outdated.
Strawbridge Elementary School
Strawbridge Elementary, located right in the neighborhood on Strawbridge Road, serves grades PK through 5 and carries a 10/10 GreatSchools rating, with strong reported reading and math proficiency. It's one of the more consistently sought-after elementary schools in this part of Virginia Beach, and it's a real factor in why families target this specific neighborhood over similarly priced options elsewhere in the city.
Parents I've worked with consistently mention the school's active PTA and its Gifted & Talented offerings as reasons they specifically targeted homes zoned to it.
Corporate Landing Middle and Ocean Lakes High
From Strawbridge Elementary, most students move on to Corporate Landing Middle School, which carries a 7/10 GreatSchools rating and offers a gifted and talented program along with a range of sports. The typical feeder high school is Ocean Lakes High School, also rated 7/10, a large comprehensive high school known for its magnet programs and strong college-readiness outcomes.
As with any neighborhood near a zone boundary, some Strawbridge addresses feed into Princess Anne Middle and Kellam High School instead, so don't assume based on a neighbor's experience alone.
Ocean Lakes High School's magnet and AP programs also draw students from other zones in the city through the specialty application process, which is worth exploring if a particular program interests your student.
Always Confirm Zoning by Address
School boundaries shift periodically, and Strawbridge is split across more than one attendance zone even though it's a single, small neighborhood. Before you write an offer on a specific house, confirm current zoning directly with Virginia Beach City Public Schools using their school locator tool, since the assignment for one street can differ from the one right next to it.
If school assignment is a top priority in your search, tell me early, since I can help you narrow your home search to streets confirmed within a specific attendance zone before we ever tour a house.
