Summary
Middleburg Community Charter is a small K-5 elementary school in Middleburg, VA, enrolling 145 students as part of Loudoun County Public Schools. The school has shown a dramatic upward trajectory in recent years, climbing from the bottom third of Virginia elementary schools to the top 13% — jumping from a rank of 760 out of 1,114 schools in 2022-23 to 143 out of 1,111 in 2025-26. This 617-position improvement over three years is particularly striking for a school this small.
Academically, Middleburg outperforms both the district and state in nearly every tested subject. The 4th grade cohort is exceptional, with 100% proficiency in math, 95.7% in reading, and 91.3% in Virginia Studies. Fifth grade reading is also a clear strength at 95.8% proficiency, about 15 points above the state average. However, 5th grade science trails at 75% proficiency, below the district average and well behind nearby schools like Sycolin Creek (91.3%), Aldie (90.0%), and Goshen Post (84.4%). In 4th grade math, Middleburg's 100% proficiency surpasses Hovatter (90.7%), Sycolin Creek (95.6%), and Goshen Post (87.6%). The school also holds its own against much larger, highly ranked schools in the area.
Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 25.2% in 2023-24 to 8.4% in 2024-25 — well below the district rate of 14.1% and nearly the lowest in the area. Middleburg spends $25,172 per student, consistent with the "small school premium" but less than nearby Aldie ($30,326) and Banneker ($30,848). Its student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is moderate — lower than the largest nearby schools but higher than Aldie (8.0) and Banneker (7.6). The school's subgroup performance shows a notable gender gap: female students rank in the top 10% statewide (91st percentile) while male students sit around the 68th percentile. Overall, Middleburg is one of the most improved elementary schools in the region, though its small enrollment means rankings can fluctuate year to year.
