Summary:
Boring, Oregon — an unincorporated community in Clackamas County, southeast of Portland — is home to a single middle-level campus: Boring Middle School, which serves 427 students in grades 6–8 (roughly 140–145 per grade) as part of Oregon Trail School District 46. Because there is only one school here, parents should read its results against the district and the state rather than against local peers. The data record is unusually complete — no suppressed or range values — with test scores from OSAS 2025–2026, absenteeism, poverty, spending, and staffing figures from 2024–2025, and a three-year rank history.
The school is a standout statewide: it ranks 71st of 371 Oregon middle schools (81st percentile, 4 stars) and beats the state average in all three tested subjects. English Language Arts is its flagship strength at 58.7% proficiency — 14.9 points above the state (43.8%) and 6.8 points above the district (51.9%) — and it leads the district in ELA at every grade level, with 6th grade 21.7 points above the state. Mathematics is the relative soft spot: 39.4% overall is 6.5 points above the state but 2.5 points below the district (41.9%), and 8th-grade math (35.0%) is the lowest score in the file. Science (36.6%) is 6.0 points above the state overall, though on a like-for-like 8th-grade basis it trails the district by 1.6 points. Scores taper from 6th to 8th grade in ELA and math.
Context matters here: about 60% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch and 32.7% are chronically absent — essentially matching the district (32.3%) and slightly better than the state (33.5%). Per-student spending is $15,045 with a 22.4:1 student–teacher ratio (roughly 19 teachers), and the school's rank has rebounded from 84th to 102nd to 71st. Strong outcomes are being produced alongside real headwinds, with attendance the clearest opportunity for further gains.
