Summary

Page Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Gloucester County Public Schools, a district ranked 15 out of 129 in Virginia with a 4-star rating. With 564 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12, Page Middle has consistently ranked in the top half of Virginia middle schools over the past 8 years, with strong performance on SOL tests, particularly in Algebra I, Geometry, and English Reading.

Page Middle's academic performance is generally above the state and district averages, and the school has shown strong performance for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of Virginia middle schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's White and multi-racial student subgroups have lagged behind, ranking in the bottom 40-50% of Virginia middle schools. The school's low-income and military-connected student subgroups have performed well, ranking in the top 25-30% of Virginia middle schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Peasley Middle has similar academic performance to Page Middle, but with a lower percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients. Other nearby schools, such as Mary Passage Middle and Toano Middle, have significantly lower academic performance and higher rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients. The school's rising chronic absenteeism, from 17.5% in 2022-2023 to 26.6% in 2023-2024, is an area of concern that the school and district should closely monitor and address.
