North Fork Middle School is a very child oriented school. It believes in the values of education and that of being helpful, honest and keeping manners and learning on the top of the list. This school has alot of extra-curricular activities that entitle all the children a chance to be a part of. The teachers care about the students and the staff keeps the parents informed in all matters.

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.
