Crossroads School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Norfolk City Public Schools school district, located in Norfolk, VA with about 894 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 61 teachers, Crossroads School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Crossroads School, located on Old Ocean View Road in Norfolk, Virginia, serves as a specialized educational environment within the Norfolk Public Schools system. It functions primarily as an alternative school designed to provide a supportive and structured academic setting for students who may struggle in a traditional comprehensive high school environment. The school emphasizes smaller class sizes and individualized instruction, allowing educators to focus on the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of their student population to help them get back on track toward graduation.

The mission of Crossroads School is centered on fostering personal responsibility, academic improvement, and behavioral growth. By offering a curriculum tailored to help students earn necessary credits, the school works to mitigate the risk of dropout and provides a pathway for students to return to their home schools or successfully transition into post-secondary life. Through its targeted programming, Crossroads serves as a vital resource for the Norfolk community, ensuring that students have access to the intervention and guidance required to achieve their educational goals in a personalized setting.
