Summary:
Zip code 22932 (Crozet, Virginia) is served by a single middle school, Joseph T. Henley Middle, which enrolls 847 students in grades 6–8 as part of Albemarle County Public Schools.
Henley Middle is a consistently elite school, ranking in the 91st percentile of Virginia middle schools for three consecutive years and earning 5 stars each year, placing it among the top ~9% statewide. It significantly outperforms its district, which itself ranks 43rd out of 131 districts (67th percentile). Reading proficiency is universally strong at 86–91% across all grades, well above state averages, and 8th-grade science (87.7%) and civics (89.2%) also shine. The school's accelerated math pipeline is exceptional: geometry proficiency is 99%, Algebra I in 7th grade is 97%, and Algebra I in 8th grade is 94%. However, standard 8th-grade math proficiency is a relative weak point at 48.5%, just slightly above the state average, and 7th-grade math fell from 79.3% to 67.6% year over year—a notable decline worth watching even though the school remains above district and state averages.
Henley Middle benefits from favorable conditions that support its success: chronic absenteeism is just 9.9%, about 5 points below the state average, and the student-to-teacher ratio is a healthy 14.8:1. Per-student spending is $11,560, and only 13.46% of students receive free or reduced lunch, indicating a comparatively affluent student population. For parents, Henley Middle offers a high-achieving, well-attended environment with strong literacy and advanced math options, though families should be aware that standard 8th-grade math is an area needing attention. As the only middle school in zip 22932, it sets a very high bar for local educational quality.
