Wallace Middle School is an excellent school with a current principal who cares about the students, teachers, and collaboration with parents. My family lives near the school, but has become out of district due to Bristol City annexation. However, I apply each year to allow my children to attend this school district.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests to assess students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, writing in grades 5 and 8, science in grades in 3, 5 and 8, and history in grades 3 through 8. The SOL tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia. The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
