Summary

Andrew G. Wright Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Stafford, VA, serving 851 students as part of Stafford County Public Schools, and it currently ranks 248th out of 416 Virginia middle schools (40th percentile, 2 stars) for 2025-2026, a step back from its 3-star performance the previous year and a far cry from its consistent 4-star status before the pandemic.

Wright’s clearest strengths are in 8th grade math and science, where proficiency rates (48.6% and 69.0% in 2025-2026) beat district and state averages, and advanced math placement is exceptional — 8th graders taking Geometry score near 98% proficient, while 7th graders in Algebra I hit 98.5%. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism low (12.7% vs. 17.5% district), and its English Language Learner students are a standout subgroup, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide. Compared to nearby Rodney E. Thompson Middle — only two miles away and a 4-star school — Wright lags significantly in reading, science, and civics, though it outperforms higher-poverty schools like Edward E. Drew Junior Middle and Graham Park Middle in math and science despite spending less per student.

Weaknesses are equally clear: 7th grade civics has trended downward to 60.6% proficiency (vs. 70.1% state), and subgroup results are inconsistent — African American, low-income, disabled, and military-connected students all fall between the 25th and 52nd percentiles, while multiracial students rank at just the 25th percentile. The contrast with ELL success suggests Wright has effective strategies for some learners but hasn’t replicated them across all at-risk groups. With attendance strong and STEM outcomes solid, Wright sits in a middle tier — not the high-flying neighbor Thompson is, but not the struggling higher-poverty schools nearby. Whether its recent declines become patterns or reversals will likely determine if it climbs back to its former 4-star status.
