Summary:
Zip code 22663 contains exactly one middle school: Robert E. Aylor Middle, located in White Post, Virginia, serving 861 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of Frederick County Public Schools. The school's overall state ranking places it in the lower third of Virginia middle schools, earning a 26th percentile rank and 1-star rating in 2025-2026, after ranking at the 34th percentile in 2024-2025 and 29th percentile in 2023-2024.
Test results reveal a striking contrast between advanced and grade-level math. In 2025-2026, 8th grade Algebra I proficiency was 98.11%, outperforming both the district (95.85%) and the state (93.26%), and the school reported 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Geometry in 2024-2025. However, grade-level math proficiency lags considerably: 7th grade math dropped from 51.56% to 40.35% between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, falling nearly 11 points below the state average. Reading scores are steadier — roughly 65% to 68% of students are proficient across grades 6-8, which is at or above district averages but below state averages. Science (59.26%) and civics (68.38%) proficiency are near district levels but trail the state by roughly 5 to 6 points.
The school has several bright spots. Chronic absenteeism stands at 13.5%, better than both the district (16.0%) and the state (14.8%), and the student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is relatively favorable. About 37% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, reflecting a moderate level of economic need. The clearest takeaway is the dual nature of math at this school: an exceptional advanced math track with near-perfect results sits alongside a struggling general math population, particularly in 7th grade where only 4 in 10 students are proficient. Lifting grade-level math proficiency while preserving the successful accelerated program would have the greatest impact on the school's overall ranking.
