Summary

Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn, VA, is a large 6–8 middle school serving 1,258 students in the highly regarded Loudoun County Public Schools district. The school ranks 19th out of 416 Virginia middle schools (95th percentile) with a 5-star SchoolDigger rating for 2025–2026, and it has earned 5 stars in six of the last seven reporting years. Chronic absenteeism is notably low at 9.6%, well below the district rate of 14.1% and the state rate of 14.8%.

Eagle Ridge's math scores are its biggest differentiator. On 2025–2026 SOL assessments, 81.3% of 6th graders scored proficient in math — roughly 21 points above the district average and nearly 20 points above the strongest nearby comprehensive middle schools. Reading results are equally strong: 90.6% of 6th graders and 94.8% of 7th graders are proficient, and 8th-grade reading stands at 90.4%. The school also runs an impressive advanced-math pipeline, with 100% proficiency in 7th-grade Algebra I and near-perfect results in 8th-grade Geometry and Algebra II. Among nearby schools, only Brambleton Middle — an 8th-grade-only campus about three miles away — ranks higher (8th overall). Trailside Middle posts slightly higher 8th-grade science and civics scores, but Eagle Ridge's 85.4% science and 93.7% civics proficiency remain well above district and state averages.

Eagle Ridge also delivers strong results across student subgroups, ranking in the 84th–96th percentile statewide for male, female, disabled, English learner, Hispanic, low-income, White, and multiracial students. It accomplishes this while spending less per student ($15,773) than most nearby schools, including Harper Park Middle and Sterling Middle. The school is part of an unusually strong cluster of top-performing middle schools in eastern Loudoun County, with Brambleton, Trailside, and Eagle Ridge all ranking in the top 8% of Virginia. For parents, Eagle Ridge offers a proven track record of sustained academic excellence, strong attendance, and effective instruction for a wide range of learners.
