Gate City Middle is a public middle school serving grades 07–08 in Gate City. It is one of 15 current school records connected to Scott County Public Schools. NCES reports 276 students for 2024–25.
Among 340 middle schools in Virginia with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 737.5 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 6th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.

The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (94.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (2.2%). Students served under IDEA represent 17.8%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
