Summary:

Zip code 20110 in Manassas, Virginia is home to four middle-level schools serving grades 5 through 8 with a combined enrollment of 3,562 students, split between Prince William County Public Schools (65th percentile, 3 stars) and Manassas City Public Schools (5th percentile, 0 stars). All four schools serve predominantly low-income families, with free/reduced-price lunch eligibility ranging from 69.4% to 78.8%.

Parkside Middle is the clear leader in the zip code. It posts the highest average SOL proficiency (~71%), the lowest chronic absenteeism (13.0%), and the lowest per-student spending ($9,462), while also being the largest school with 1,352 students. Among the Manassas City schools, Grace E. Metz Middle is the lowest-ranked traditional middle school (9th percentile statewide, 0 stars), with 7th and 8th grade math proficiency at just 25.4% and 22.8%. Mayfield Intermediate outperforms Baldwin Intermediate by 7 to 11 points in every subject, but both remain below state averages. Baldwin is the spending outlier: it spends $14,076 per student — about 49% more than Parkside — yet produces the lowest test scores, including 5th grade math at 51.9% versus the state's 72.4%.

Several patterns stand out across the area. Advanced math is a bright spot, with Algebra I and Geometry proficiency at Parkside and Metz ranging from 89% to 100%, but on-grade-level math is a major weakness, with 8th grade math at just 38.0% at Parkside and 22.8% at Metz. Reading proficiency is below the Virginia state average at every school in every grade tested. Year-over-year trends are divergent: Parkside and Metz improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Mayfield and Baldwin declined in most subjects. Chronic absenteeism is highest at Metz (18.4%) and lowest at Parkside (13.0%), which is better than the state average of 14.8%. For parents, the district boundary matters greatly here — Parkside, on the Prince William side, is the strongest choice academically, while the Manassas City schools face significant systemic challenges across math, reading, and science.
