Summary

Breckinridge Middle is a 6–8 middle school in Roanoke, VA, serving 733 students in Roanoke City Public Schools. The school ranks in the bottom 6% of Virginia middle schools (392nd of 416 in 2025–26) and serves a student body where effectively all students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Per-pupil spending is $11,355, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Reading is a major relative weakness, particularly in 6th grade, where only 35.78% of students are proficient compared to the district average of 51.37% and the state average of 73%. Every other Roanoke City middle school outperforms Breckinridge in 6th-grade reading, including John P. Fishwick Middle (59.17%) and James Madison Middle (66.67%). Math tells a "two worlds" story: advanced math students excel, with 100% proficiency in 7th-grade Algebra I, 97.06% in 8th-grade Algebra I, and 95.24% in Geometry—results competitive with high-performing county schools. However, on-grade-level math proficiency remains low, ranging from 21.39% in 6th grade to 34.39% in 8th grade.

Chronic absenteeism is a notable bright spot: 17.9% in 2024–25, the best among Roanoke City middle schools and well below the district average of 25.0%. John P. Fishwick Middle, just 3.19 miles away, serves a nearly identical high-poverty population yet outperforms Breckinridge in most subjects, suggesting school-level practices can make a difference. Meanwhile, nearby schools like Cave Spring Middle and Hidden Valley Middle serve far lower-poverty populations and rank in the 51st–97th percentile statewide—a stark contrast to Breckinridge's 6th percentile ranking.
