As a real estate agent, I get asked all the time “how are the schools?”. My standard answer is always that I don’t have kids so I can’t say for sure, and that they should investigate on their own.
Now I’ve got a better tool to suggest … ProPublica.
The site allows you to search compiled data on all the New River Valley schools. Here’s a screenshot comparing Blacksburg Middle School to other area schools, including Christiansburg Middle and Dublin Middle.
As much as I try to be a source of information regarding the New River Valley, there are some things I’m just not familiar with. But when it comes to New River Valley schools, ProPublica has you covered.

Not trying to be an ad here, Jeremy, but we’ve been very happy with Blacksburg New School. It might be a good match for some of your readers who want options outside of public schools. Very challenging curriculum, great teachers and community. Small class sizes …. capped around 12 or so, I think.
It fit our work schedule, which was a challenge with public schools and the other options. Our son loves it. Adn they have a solid fine arts program, which you know I liked. Yeh!
Love the blog! Keep ‘em comin’.
Excellent, thanks for this Steven. Not an ad – if you like it, tell us why! Much appreciated … what grades is the Blacksburg New School?
