Summary:

The 24340 zip code is home to a single standout middle school, Glade Spring Middle, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-ranked Washington County Public Schools district. Glade Spring Middle is a high-performing institution, ranking 52nd out of 422 Virginia middle schools in 2022-2023 and 76th out of 417 in 2023-2024, with a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

The school's impressive test scores, with the majority of 8th grade students scoring proficient or better on SOL exams, often exceed the district and state averages. While Glade Spring Middle serves a higher-need student population, with 71.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1 likely contributes to its academic success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% in 2023-2024 is a metric to monitor going forward.

Overall, Glade Spring Middle School appears to be a standout institution in the region, providing a high-quality education to its students despite serving a population with greater economic challenges.
