GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Oceanview is a horrible school if you have a special needs student. They do not follow IEPs and the students suffer. My child is still behind because the teachers and administrators did not do much to assist him and help him grow. In kindergarten and first grade he sat by himself and did his own thing instead of them working with him. I wish they would listen more to parents because he has grown more in the two years at his new school then he ever did at OV. I would recommend parents take their kids somewhere else.

This is the best school in Norfolk. It was excellent (a national honor school) when located in the building that was demolished in 2018, but it is even better now that it is housed in a brand-new building.
