Summary

Graham Park Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Triangle, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 683 students. It is part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, which is ranked 42 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Graham Park Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school performs well in certain subject areas, particularly in Algebra I, where 100% of 8th-grade students have been proficient or better on the SOL tests for the past three years. However, the school struggles in Mathematics, with only around 50% of students proficient or better in 8th-grade Mathematics, and also lags behind the district and state averages in English Reading and Science proficiency. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with around 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.9% in 2020-2021 to 20% in 2022-2023.

Compared to other nearby middle schools in the Prince William County district, such as Lake Ridge Middle and Herbert J. Saunders Middle, which have higher academic performance and rankings, Graham Park Middle generally underperforms academically. However, the school's strengths in certain subject areas and the performance of specific student subgroups suggest that there are opportunities for improvement, and addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as attendance and resource allocation, could help Graham Park Middle better support its diverse student population and improve overall academic outcomes.

Graham Park Is awesome! It has a lot of awesome clubs, and lots of the students there are very nice. The opportunity to grow as a person and student is great, even if they do have lower test scores. It is also very Diverse, which allows you or your child to meet and get to know many different ethnic groups. In my opinion, Graham Park is a great school, and has all the tools you need and more to succeed, and grow as a learner and a person. Close Quote

I am very happy with Graham Park Middle. It is a diverse school with amazing, caring teachers. The admin is awesome and is very strict. I feel my son is safe at the school and is getting a top notch education. We moved there mid year from California and the guidance dept was great! They set him up to succeed. I will send my daughter there next year. It is not in a ghetto. It is in a diverse neighborhood. It is not unsafe. The other reviewer seems to care more about appearances than substance. Close Quote

The school is centered in the middle of a slum, drug infested, gang area. I cannot even stand to have to go through that neighborhood to get my child. The children and the staff, to my experience is no better. Close Quote
