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.

The most dedicated teachers who work so hard to make sure students are supported with what they need to learn and love school. Can’t say enough how much the teachers go above and beyond for the children! It’s a family at Thoroughgood.

One of the best, if not the best schools in Virginia Beach. Unfortunately, we had to move to a neighboring elementary school from here, and everything about the current school fell short of our experience here. Too bad it cost so dang much to live in the neighborhood that feeds into Thoroughgood.
