Middle Schools in Fredericksburg City Public Schools

Fredericksburg City Public Schools in Virginia has only one middle school, Walker-Grant Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's diverse student population faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across core subjects compared to state and district averages.

Walker-Grant Middle has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 83.07% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's struggles, as research has shown a strong correlation between poverty and lower educational outcomes. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, the limited financial data provided makes it difficult to assess the school's overall resource allocation and funding challenges.

Across subjects and grade levels, Walker-Grant Middle's performance on state standardized tests (SOL) is generally below the state and district averages. The school performs relatively well in Algebra I, but struggles significantly in Mathematics and English Reading, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.29% to 59.43%, compared to state averages of 70.65% to 92.08%. Without additional middle schools in the data set, it is challenging to make meaningful comparisons and identify standout schools in the Fredericksburg City Public Schools district.
