Where can I get information about local schools in Hampton Roads?
A good resource to use is Great Schools.net ; here you search by a particular city and also further define your search by elementary, middle and high schools. You will see information on academics, SOL scores, student/teacher ratios, demographics and more. There are also links to the individual school´s website with even more information such as classes, extracurricular activities, and bus routes. Another good idea would be visit a school of interest and meet with the principal. Many public schools encourage an open door policy and welcome visitors.
