Best Middle Schools in Zip Code 22193

ZIP code 22193 in Woodbridge, Virginia, is served by two public middle schools — Stuart M. Beville Middle and George M. Hampton Middle — both part of the Prince William County Public Schools district. Both schools serve grades 6 through 8 and enroll similar high-need student populations, with roughly 69% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Spending per student is also nearly identical, at approximately $12,000. While the district ranks in the 65th percentile of Virginia districts (46th of 131), both schools fall in the bottom quarter of the state's middle schools, ranking 315th and 329th out of 416, respectively.

Beville is the stronger overall performer of the two schools. It leads Hampton in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade reading, 7th and 8th grade math, 8th grade science, and 8th grade Algebra I, posting a 61.4% average proficiency rate across common subjects compared with Hampton's 60.0%. Hampton, however, has clear pockets of excellence: its 8th grade Civics proficiency of 83.5% exceeds both the district (82.0%) and state (74.7%) averages and beats Beville by more than 12 percentage points. Hampton also shines in accelerated math, where 100% of its 7th graders and 96.9% of its 8th graders taking Algebra I scored proficient. Hampton also holds advantages in student-teacher ratio (12.2 vs. 13.5) and chronic absenteeism (13.7% vs. 14.9%).

Despite these resource advantages, Hampton does not outperform Beville in most subjects, suggesting instructional quality and student grouping play a larger role than class size or attendance alone. The most striking pattern in both schools is the divide between accelerated and on-grade math: Algebra I proficiency is 94-97%, yet 7th grade math proficiency is just 26-37% and 8th grade math proficiency is 38-42%. Both schools also declined from 2024-25 to 2025-26, with double-digit drops in some math categories and a general slide in statewide rank. Across nearly every subject, both schools trail their district averages by 5 to 15 percentage points, with Hampton's Civics score the clear exception.
