Summary

Tabb Middle School in Yorktown, VA, serves 968 students in grades 6–8 as part of York County Public Schools, and it is one of the top-performing middle schools in Virginia. For 2025-2026, Tabb ranked 15th out of 416 middle schools statewide (96th percentile), and its decade-long record shows it has never dipped below 24th in the state—a sign of deep, consistent quality rather than a one-year spike. Students here score far above both district and state averages across nearly every subject, and the school holds a steady 5-star rating year after year.

Mathematics is Tabb's standout subject. The school reports 100% proficiency in 8th-grade Geometry and 7th-grade Algebra I, along with 98.9% proficiency in 8th-grade Algebra I and 90.2% in 6th-grade math—compared to just 63.2% statewide. Reading proficiency runs from 86.9% to 90.9% across grades, while 8th-grade science (83.3%) and civics (90.7%) also far exceed state averages. Among nearby schools, Grafton Middle ranks 93rd and Yorktown Middle ranks 136th, while Poquoson Middle (26th) is the only close competitor—and even it trails Tabb in advanced math outcomes.

Tabb also impresses with efficiency and student engagement. Its chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.8% is less than half the state average (14.8%) and has steadily improved for several years. The school spends $8,152 per student—less than Yorktown Middle ($9,175) and many schools in Newport News City Public Schools and Hampton City Public Schools—while delivering far stronger results, suggesting highly effective teaching and a strong school culture. Students from lower-income families rank in the 97th percentile statewide, showing that this excellence is broadly shared. The only relative soft spots are 7th-grade on-grade-level math (still above state average) and outcomes for military-connected students, which are good but less exceptional. For Yorktown families, Tabb Middle is clearly a top-tier choice.
