What the reported data says about Wallace Middle
Wallace Middle is a public middle school serving grades 06–08 in Bristol. It is one of 17 current school records connected to Washington County Public Schools. NCES reports 443 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 20th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 12.5:1, close to the Virginia median of 13.1:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (92.1%) and Hispanic or Latino (3.6%). Students served under IDEA represent 13.4%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
