Summary

Johnson-Williams Middle serves 415 students in grades 6–8 in Berryville, Virginia, and is part of Clarke County Public Schools, a top-25 district in the state. The school itself has made a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 32nd percentile in Virginia rankings in 2023–2024 to the 68th percentile in 2025–2026, earning a 3-star rating.

What most distinguishes Johnson-Williams is its 8th grade performance. In 2025–2026, 8th grade math proficiency reached 79.61% versus the state average of 46.86%, and 8th grade reading hit 86.33% compared to 73.51% statewide. Civics proficiency also topped the state, and every 8th grader taking Algebra I passed the exam. That math strength stands out even next to the high-performing Loudoun County schools nearby: Johnson-Williams beat both Harmony Middle (66.04%) and Blue Ridge Middle (65.28%) in 8th grade math, despite spending less than half as much per student. The school also outperforms every middle school in Frederick and Warren counties in 8th grade math and reading. The one clear weak spot is 7th grade math, where proficiency sits at 48.62%—just below the state average and well behind the school’s own 6th and 8th grade results—suggesting a challenging transition year or a unique cohort needing attention.

Johnson-Williams’ improvement is broad-based, with gains seen across nearly all student subgroups between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, indicating systemic instructional gains rather than a one-off bump. At roughly $8,765 per student, it delivers strong outcomes far more efficiently than nearby districts like Loudoun or Winchester City. However, chronic absenteeism rose to 19.6% in 2024–2025, above both district and state rates and up from 15.7% the prior year. Even with test scores climbing, one in five students missing significant school could threaten the sustainability of this momentum. For parents, Johnson-Williams offers excellent academics—especially in 8th grade math—but the school’s 7th grade math dip and attendance challenges are worth watching in the years ahead.
