Summary

Floyd T. Binns Middle is a public middle school in Culpeper, VA, serving 825 students in grades 6–8 as part of Culpeper County Public Schools. The school serves a student body with substantial economic need, with roughly 65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically in recent years, falling from 36% in 2021–2022 to 19.8% in 2024–2025, though it remains above the state average of 14.8%.

Math is Binns's standout subject. Advanced math performance is exceptional: 100% of 7th graders in Algebra I, 100% of 8th graders in Geometry, and 95% of 8th graders in Algebra I scored proficient. Standard math scores also beat state averages in both 6th and 8th grades. However, reading proficiency lags behind in every grade, running 6–11 percentage points below the Virginia average. Binns significantly outperforms its district neighbor Culpeper Middle, particularly in 8th grade math (61% vs. 40% proficient), despite nearly identical poverty rates and shared district resources.

Outside of math, Binns sits below state averages in 8th grade science (56% vs. 65%) and civics (66% vs. 75%), though its civics score beats the district average. Per-pupil spending of $10,294 is moderate compared with nearby schools like W.C. Taylor Middle ($10,801), which posts considerably higher reading scores. Binns's statewide ranking slipped from the 47th to 31st percentile in the most recent year, though improving attendance trends and strong outcomes for English Language Learners and African American students offer encouraging signs. The clearest opportunity for improvement is closing the reading gap, which would likely lift the school's overall performance considerably.
