Lake Oswego Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Oregon, with students performing exceptionally well on state assessments. The school's proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. It also ranks highly for its performance among specific student subgroups, including Asian, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, as well as for its gifted and talented program and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

LOJ is #10. NUMBER 10! It's too bad they don't teach them that racism is wrong. They make excuses. I'm disgusted with lake Oswego schools and the white privilege, entitled, attitude they allow and make excuses for. Your all are a "0" in my book, pathetic. Teach the kids how to treat people. That NR is hate speech. If they're parents call each other that, it's domestic violence. If a white kid, or a group of white kids call a child of color the N word, make an example out of them. You all just teach them that to carry that out as adults by making excuses for them. Dispicable!!! Close Quote
