Summary:

There is one middle school serving zip code 24210: E.B. Stanley Middle in Abingdon, Virginia, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 659 students. The school is part of Washington County Public Schools, a district ranked 12th out of 131 in Virginia (91st percentile, 5 stars). Despite a high poverty rate—74.66% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch—E.B. Stanley consistently outperforms the Virginia state average in nearly every tested subject. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 77th out of 416 Virginia middle schools (81st percentile, 4 stars), with average proficiency of 79.1% across all reported subjects, compared to 67.7% statewide. Per-student spending is $10,136, and the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 12.9:1.

E.B. Stanley’s greatest strengths are reading and Algebra I. English/Reading proficiency is remarkably stable across all grade levels, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade scores between 82.5% and 84.4% in 2025–2026—well above state averages of roughly 73%. Eighth-grade Algebra I proficiency is nearly universal at 98.95%, exceeding the state’s 93.26% average. The school also outperforms its district and state in 6th grade math (83.33% vs. 63.19% statewide), 8th grade science (78.33% vs. 64.72%), and civics (79.02% vs. 70.10%). These results are especially impressive given the school’s demographic challenges.

The main areas for concern are upper-grade math and chronic absenteeism. Seventh grade math proficiency fell sharply from 74.34% in 2024–2025 to 60.36% in 2025–2026, and 8th grade math dropped from 74.26% to 63.39%—both now below district averages. Chronic absenteeism stands at 17.1%, higher than the district’s 13.8% and the state’s 14.8%. The school’s state ranking has slipped from 54th (87th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 77th (81st percentile) in 2025–2026, likely driven by these math declines. Still, E.B. Stanley remains a top-tier middle school with strong literacy instruction, excellent Algebra I outcomes, and a supportive district. Addressing math in grades 7–8 and improving attendance could help the school return to its previous elite standing.
