Albert Hill Middle

338^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 416 Virginia Middle Schools

Better than 19% of Virginia middle schools

Summary

Albert Hill Middle serves 505 students in grades 6–8 in Richmond, VA, and is part of Richmond City Public Schools, a district that ranks in the bottom 10% of Virginia districts. Despite that challenging context, Albert Hill is the highest-ranked middle school in its district — placing 338th out of 416 Virginia middle schools (19th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026, up from 380th (8th percentile) in 2021–2022. Among Richmond City peers, it clearly leads the pack: Dogwood Middle ranks in the 5th percentile, Thomas H. Henderson Middle in the 4th, Lucille M. Brown Middle in the 2nd, and River City Middle and Martin Luther King Junior Middle in the 1st.

The school's signature strength is accelerated math. In 7th grade, Algebra I proficiency hit 100% in 2025–2026, and 8th-grade Geometry reached 95.8% — numbers that rival George H. Moody Middle (97.1%) and Tuckahoe Middle (97.0%), two schools in Henrico County Public Schools that serve far fewer low-income students. Reading is also a bright spot: proficiency ranges from 59.3% to 68.9% across grades, well above the Richmond district average of roughly 49% and comparable to nearby schools like Providence Middle and Brookland Middle.

But challenges remain. Science is the clearest weakness: 8th-grade Earth Science proficiency was 60.9% in 2025–2026, about 30 points below the state average, and even lower-ranked Richmond peers outperform Albert Hill in this subject. Grade-level math also lags, with only 20.4% of 7th graders proficient in 2024–2025. The school serves an almost entirely low-income population (99.8% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), and chronic absenteeism runs about 21% — above the state's 14.8% but in line with the district average. Still, the trajectory is positive: Albert Hill has climbed from the 8th to the 19th percentile over four years, suggesting recent efforts may be taking hold.

This school is amazing it teaches so much. At Albert Hill not only is it a opportunity to learn but to also make friends of a life time. I have learned so much at this school and hope that it will continue for generations. That parent who said it was awful well that was just for their child. For the rest of us it is amazing.
