I ran the 800 every year for middle school. It really depends on how much you train before the season starts and how much a run a week during the season. Don't ever over do it!!
My 8th grade year I ran around 3 minutes until the championship where I ran a 2:41.50. Don't listen to the 1st answer b-cuz I know this amazing senior in College who run a 2:15.
Just run about 4 times a week for about 3 miles. It's not that bad and it really helps. Then maybe once a week do four 400s cuz that will help with your speed. Good luck!!

The first answer is crazy. The times he quoted were from the Junior Olympics. A pretty good 800 time for a middle schooler would be maybe in the threes (minutes), twos in a real race. But remember, that's half a mile, unless you're running a 5 minute mile a 2 minute 800 is pretty darn impossible!

I ran track in high school 100 200 4X100 relay sometimes the 400 and the 300 in indoor track
I would say anything under 2:15 would be a good time for a middle school 800
refer to this article

Chanelle Price of Easton, Pa., who took third at the 2006 Finish Line USA Junior Track & Field Championships,crushed the Junior Olympic and National Youth record in the Intermediate Girls 800 meters, blazing through the finish in 2 minutes 6.64 seconds. The previous record of 2:08.47 was set in 2005 by Brittany Hall. Blaire and Brooke Dinsdale, twins from Cedar Valley Track Club who were part of the winning 4x800m Wednesday, were second and third crossing the line in 2:08.75 and 2:10.51 respectively.

2:30's to low 2:40's are really good times for middle shcool girls. You don't even have to think about 2 teens until you are in high school championship races- Unless you run USATF and AAU nationals, it's there you will see some of those freaky times from middle schoolers
