Summary:
In ZIP code 23487, there is one middle school — Georgie D. Tyler Middle — serving grades 6–8 in Windsor, Virginia, as part of the highly ranked Isle of Wight County Public Schools district. With 368 students and a favorable 11.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio, the school also spends a solid $11,579 per student, giving it strong structural support.
Georgie D. Tyler Middle consistently ranks in the top quarter of Virginia middle schools, earning a 4-star rating three years running and landing at 102nd out of 416 schools in 2025–2026 (75th percentile). Despite 68.75% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school beats the state average in every single tested subject in the most recent year. Its biggest advantage is in 7th-grade math at 85.27% proficiency — a remarkable 34 points above the state average — while 6th-grade math (81.06%) and reading (82.44%) also far exceed state norms. The school has posted a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I SOL exam for two consecutive years, an impressive feat even if that test is taken by a select group of advanced 8th graders.
However, the latest data reveals a sharp split: 6th and 7th graders are improving and outperform their district, but 8th graders fell well below district averages in every subject — math dropped from 77.78% to 60%, science fell from 80.87% to 68.33%, and civics declined from 84.07% to 75%. Chronic absenteeism (15.6%) runs slightly above both the district (12.7%) and state (14.8%), a quiet risk factor. Overall, Georgie D. Tyler Middle remains a high-poverty, high-performing school with strong foundations, but the 8th-grade cohort slide is the key challenge to watch in the next cycle.
