Summary

Kilmer Middle is a grades 7–8 middle school in Vienna, VA, enrolling about 1,199 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools, and it currently ranks 73rd out of 416 Virginia middle schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars). That ranking places it above Jackson Middle (325th), Kenmore Middle (242nd), and Swanson Middle (89th), but below a cluster of exceptional nearby schools including Williamsburg Middle (5th), Mary Ellen Henderson Middle (14th), Cooper Middle (18th), Dorothy Hamm Middle (38th), Longfellow Middle (35th), Thoreau Middle (51st), and Frost Middle (50th).

Academically, Kilmer's standout feature is its accelerated math program: students post 100% proficiency on 7th-grade Algebra I, 8th-grade Geometry, and 8th-grade Algebra II SOL tests, and 97.83% proficiency on 8th-grade Algebra I. By contrast, grade-level math is a genuine weak spot—only 49.55% of 7th graders and 33.05% of 8th graders taking the standard math SOL were proficient. Reading is strong (86.75% in 7th grade, 85.39% in 8th grade), and 8th-grade science proficiency is 78.86%, well above the state's 64.72%—though these figures trail top neighbors like Cooper Middle (95.4% reading) and Williamsburg Middle (94.35% science).

Outcomes vary notably among student groups. Multiracial students rank in the 93rd percentile statewide, while African American, White, disabled, and English Language Learner students all rank between the 77th and 84th percentiles; Hispanic students rank in the 41st percentile and low-income students in the 32nd. Chronic absenteeism is 10.4%, better than the district's 11.9% and the state's 14.8%. Kilmer also runs efficiently, spending about $10,274 per student—considerably less than nearby schools like Swanson Middle ($13,989), Dorothy Hamm Middle ($13,436), and Jackson Middle ($13,311)—while outperforming several of them academically. Kilmer was ranked 22nd in Virginia in 2017–18; its 2025–26 rebound to 73rd is encouraging after a recent low of 104th in 2023–24.
