The parking is plentiful it's a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the door if you get there past the start time so bring a jacket or dress comfy. Getting in and out of the parking is not that bad. The restrooms were tidy. Great seating. My only side eye is the concessions. I would expect a bigger school with a lot of options... The event kicks off at 5:00 5:30 right after the majority of people work hours and we're hungry so we're looking for more than just a hot dog and nachos... Next time I'm packing a lunch ahead of the game and eat before entering. Next year... keep this in mind! Have fun and enjoy life :)

If you're lucky you might be a Dolphin too! This listing is for Ocean Lakes High School, home of…read morethe Dolphins. The location is in a residential neighborhood which makes it challenging to get in and out during peak AM/PM arrivals & dismissals. My child now attends the school as a Freshman. So I'm a bit at a learning curve for a detailed review of the school. Ocean Lakes is known as one of the best in the VBS system. Not only due to the fact it houses one of two academic academies, but because it's overall test scores are so high. Not to mention the school is well regarded for having a great student body as well as faculty. Also the school according to my student has a safe environment. He has yet to witness a disturbance in the hall. He has yet to see, or even hear of drug use. Is it perfect, no. Now speaking of their academy which my son is enrolled. Ocean Lakes houses the rigorous Math & Science Academy. Testing is done in the Winter for acceptance. The test runs three hours and is held on two dates affording flexibility to the student. Graduates from the program move onto some of the best colleges in the nation such as MIT and other top technical, engineering and medical programs. A great school that I'm so thrilled my child is a part of.

This building formerly housed both Princess Anne Middle School and Old Donation Center MS. Located…read moreon Seaboard Rd. and off Princess Anne Rd. My son attended three years under ODS that is home to Virginia Beach gifted middle. The school, staff and students are like no other at the beach. Testing is required for admittance and they take only 200 per grade level which is a recent increase. The school is now closed and very recently demolished. The new ODS is located off Independence Blvd in the Bayside area of VB. This property will be utilized by Princess Anne MS once again. No time table on when construction will begin of a new school ,but the information is usually posted on the district website if interested.

Class of 2023 was chaotic in its respective rights like every other class who had come before us and who has come after us. February 14th, 2018, it was any normal day for me until I walked into my home room of Mr.Grosz class and I saw somebody. A new student! He was talking to a group of girls that didn't like me so I gave up my chances. Just so happens that he has the exact same schedule as me as we ended the day by each other in English where we exchanged a few words. Days had went by when that boy had told his older brother about his crush, and his girlfriend overheard; who happened to by my neighbor. She gave him my phone number, and we became best friends. We were inseparable. After every fight we still found our way back to each other. And on December 12th, 2024, I married him. Were my 3 years here the best? Absolutely not. The administration is terrible. But did I find the love of my life? Yes, and for that, I am forever grateful. We will drive by the school from time to time and reminisce on stories from the track to the lockers. Thank you Corporate Landing for leading me to him. I have no idea where and who I would be without his presence and love in my life.

I…read morehave been able to check out games for the past two years and most recently a few scrimmages this season. These guys are pretty solid and I love the play calling. It kinda reminds me of how I would coach a team with the structured plays that always end up with yards gained. The football field is pretty nice nothing spectacular, but it seems well maintained. If you are into football check out this team, they are sure to be an awesome contender this 2022-2023 season. Plenty of parking available. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I attended LMS the very first year it opened and just in time for me to start 8th grade. It's…read moreactually connected to the Elementary school but only by a hallway. Never during the day will students from either school see each other. At LMS, the 6th grade wing is located on the first floor with the gym and cafeteria. On this floor you'll also find the elective classrooms, the clinic, guidance, and main office. On the second level you will find the library and the 7th and 8th grade wings. Right before you make that left to turn into the school you'll notice that it seems like you're entering the parking lot to the Amphitheater. It's really that close. Luckily school's out before any concerts ;-). School is always clean and festive inside. I don't think there's as many activities offered as it was when I was in school. Now that my son goes here I've taken note of subtle changes but that's pretty normal with time. Gooooo Lancers!!

Understand some folks go the private or parochial route, and that is fine. But before you do decide to send your children to a private school, keep in mind that the teachers are for the most part caring professionals and my daughters have progressed beyond high school.

However, their Girls Varsity Basketball program is not that great. Their main focus is typically on specific player(s) to grow. If your child was not getting playing time in public school bring them here and if you are a type of parent who has time to be in coaches' face all the time, then your child will be awarded a "consolation" playing time. This is a perfect place for your child and your family. But if sports TRULY matters to your child while attending high school, then, you may want to consider exploring different school where she can grow, develop, and be successful! As of right now, their Boys Varsity Basketball program is excellent - from players' development to training to coaching! This is the best time to join your athlete student!
