Summary

J.E.J. Moore Middle is a large public school in Disputanta, VA, serving 1,387 students in grades 6-8 as part of Prince George County Public Schools, the top-rated district in its immediate region. Ranking 202nd of 416 Virginia middle schools in 2025-26, the school sits at the 51st percentile — roughly average for the state, but the strongest performance among nearby peers: its closest regional competitor, Elizabeth Davis Middle, ranks at the 44th percentile, while most neighboring schools sit in the bottom 10-25% statewide. The school's standout strength is mathematics, with well above-average 7th and 8th grade proficiency and 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Geometry in 2025-26.

Reading has slipped from well above state averages in 2023-24 to about the state average in 2025-26, while science trails the state consistently and writing lagged in 2022-23. The school serves a far less economically disadvantaged population than neighboring schools — roughly 40% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, compared with 75-100% at most peers — and its low-income students perform above the state median, ranking at the 65th percentile. That context matters when comparing test scores across this cluster of schools.

Chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 21.7%, well above the state average of 14.8%, despite improvement from 34.5% in 2021-22. Military-connected students consistently rank near the bottom statewide — a meaningful issue given the school's proximity to Fort Gregg-Adams — while Hispanic students rank at the 76th percentile, a notable strength. The school spends more per pupil than most nearby schools ($11,435) yet carries a high student-teacher ratio of 20.4, suggesting a possible opportunity to invest in additional instructional staff, particularly in science, special education, and military-family support.

Teachers are completely invested in the students. All schools have problems now and then and middle school is a very difficult age for parents and teachers. One thing you have to realize as a parent that this is NOT elementary school. Having more than one child go through this school, we have been very happy with the way things have been handled in varying situations. Close Quote

Prince George has great schools unfortunately Moore isn't one of them. They are good academically but we have had nothing but problems when it comes to things such as bullying & when it's brought to the schools attention they refuse to acknowledge it's happening. I just get oh that can never happen at our school. I talked to someone at a local mental hospital & was told that they have more children comes in from Moore than from any other school. That should say something Close Quote
