Summary

Yorktown Middle is a grades 6–8 middle school in Yorktown, Virginia, serving 717 students as part of York County Public Schools, a top-ranked Virginia district. The school currently ranks 136th out of 416 Virginia middle schools (67th percentile, 3 stars), placing it in the top third of the state, though it is the lowest-ranked middle school in its own district — trailing Tabb Middle, Grafton Middle, and Queens Lake Middle.

Academically, the school is a mixed picture. Reading is consistently strong, with roughly 80% of students proficient in every grade — well above state averages. Sixth-grade math is also a bright spot at 77.7% proficiency, far exceeding the state's 63.2%. However, 7th-grade math drops to just 41.6%, below the state average and well below Tabb Middle's 62.9%. Advanced math results are uneven: 7th-grade Algebra I proficiency is excellent at 97.1%, but 8th-grade Algebra I students score below both the district and state averages. The gap with Tabb Middle is especially large in 8th-grade on-grade math, where Yorktown posts 53.1% proficiency versus Tabb's 86.9%.

There are positives worth noting. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from 22% to just 10.9% over three years, now nearly matching the district rate. Hispanic students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide. However, the school serves some groups less effectively, including African American, low-income, multiracial, and military-connected students. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.4 and per-student spending of $9,175, Yorktown's resources are comparable to its peers, though most nearby schools enjoy smaller class sizes. Overall, Yorktown is a solidly above-average school in a high-performing district, but families considering it alongside other York County options will notice meaningful differences in math outcomes and advanced-course performance.
