Summary:
Zip code 20111 is home to just one middle school — Manassas Park Middle — which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 753 students in the Manassas Park City Public Schools district. The school has held a stable state ranking near the 20th percentile for three consecutive years, earning a 1-star rating, while the district itself ranks 123 out of 131 Virginia divisions with a 0-star rating.
The school's standout strength is advanced mathematics. In 2024–2025, 8th graders taking Algebra I and Geometry both scored 100% proficient, and in 2025–2026, 7th graders in Algebra I also hit 100% proficiency. Civics and Economics was another bright spot, reaching 84.27% proficiency in 2024–2025, more than 10 points above the state average. English Reading proficiency also improves as students progress, climbing from 54.47% in 6th grade to 66.27% in 8th grade in the most recent year.
However, significant challenges remain. Only 24.84% of 7th graders were proficient in grade-level mathematics in 2025–2026, less than half the state average and a sharp drop from 37.78% the prior year. Science proficiency sits at 46.59%, well below the state's 64.72%. With 81.41% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high-poverty population, yet chronic absenteeism of 15.6% is only slightly above the state average and below the district's 18.9%. These factors point to a school with clear pockets of excellence but persistent struggles in core grade-level subjects.
