Summary:
Sandy, Oregon has one listed middle school, Cedar Ridge Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 471 students in Oregon Trail School District 46 at 17100 Bluff Rd. The district is highly rated—15th of 141 districts, 89th percentile, 5 stars—so Cedar Ridge is a solid school by state standards but faces a high bar locally.
In 2025–26, the school exceeded state proficiency in all-grade ELA (44.5% vs. 43.8%), math (36.8% vs. 32.9%), and science (36.0% vs. 30.6%). But it trailed its district in all-grade ELA (51.9%) and math (41.9%); science was the exception, topping the district’s all-grade 29.7%. Grade-level results show 6th grade as the weak spot: ELA 36.6% vs. state 41.8% and district 50.7%, while math was 33.6%, still above state 29.7%. Seventh and 8th grades were stronger in ELA and math, with 8th-grade math at 37.8% (above district 37.4% and state 30.0%) and 8th-grade science at 36.0%, far above state 27.7% but below district 8th-grade science 38.2%.
Chronic absenteeism was 30.6%, better than district 32.3% and state 33.5%, though still about 3 in 10 students. The school serves a high-poverty population—60.51% eligible for free/reduced lunch—and spends $18,777 per student with a 20.2 student-teacher ratio; no district/state comparison is provided for those two figures. Rank history: 2023–24 104 of 371 (72nd percentile, 4 stars); 2024–25 131 of 368 (64th, 3 stars); 2025–26 115 of 371 (69th, 3 stars). That is improvement over the prior year but not a full return to 4-star performance.
