Williamsburg Middle

Williamsburg Middle serves 855 students across grades 6 through 8 in Arlington, Virginia. A 15.5:1 student-teacher ratio keeps class sizes accessible, and the school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — placing it in Exceptional territory on MySchoolScout's rating scale. It is classified as a regular public school.

The rankings are striking. Williamsburg sits at #3 of 36 public schools in Arlington and #23 out of 1,850 public schools across Virginia, outperforming 99% of schools statewide. Filter to middle schools specifically and the result is equally strong: 6th out of 340 in Virginia.

The school lands near the top regardless of how the comparison group is constructed. Academic performance scores 9.3 out of 10, and growth — which tracks year-over-year student progress rather than static proficiency levels — scores 8.7. That growth figure matters: students at Williamsburg continue to advance at a strong rate, not just hold prior achievement.

For families comparing middle school options across Northern Virginia, few public schools deliver this combination of academic outcomes, consistent statewide rankings, and manageable class sizes.
