Summary

Robert E. Aylor Middle is a grades 6–8 school in White Post, Virginia, serving 861 students as part of Frederick County Public Schools. The school is currently ranked 307th of 416 Virginia middle schools, placing it in the 26th percentile with a 1-star rating. About 37% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5% is the best among the county's four middle schools — below both the district and state averages.

Academically, Robert E. Aylor Middle shows a mixed picture. Eighth grade math is a genuine strength, with 51.7% proficiency — above the state average of 46.9% and the highest among Frederick County middle schools, ahead of Admiral Richard E. Byrd Middle at 50.0%. Algebra I results are exceptional at 98.1% proficiency. Reading scores are competitive within the district, with 6th grade reading leading all county middle schools. However, 6th and 7th grade math lag significantly: 52.4% and 40.4% proficiency respectively, well below state averages, and 7th grade math is the lowest among the county's middle schools. A nearby comparison is instructive: Signal Knob Middle, serving a much higher-poverty population, outperforms Aylor in nearly every subject.

The school also shows uneven results for different student groups. Effectiveness rankings are strongest for African American students (51st percentile) but fall to the bottom percentiles for Hispanic students, low-income students, and students with disabilities. The ranking for English language learners dropped dramatically from the 46th to the 1st percentile in a single year. Aylor spends less per student than its county peers — about $10,374, compared with roughly $11,400 to $11,700 at other Frederick County middle schools — and has the highest student-to-teacher ratio. These resource gaps, combined with inconsistent outcomes for specific student groups, point to areas that deserve attention even as the school builds on its strengths in reading, 8th grade math, and attendance.
