Summary:
Seaside, Oregon is a coastal city served by a single middle school in this data set: Seaside Middle School, which teaches grades 6–8 to 355 students within Seaside School District 10. Because there is only one middle school in town, there are no in-city comparisons to make — the useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own performance across grades and years.
The school's clearest strength is 6th grade English Language Arts, where 45.5% of students tested proficient, above Oregon's 41.8%. Its all-grade ELA result of 40% is also reasonably close to the state's 43.8%. Everything else trails. All-grade math is 22.7% proficient against a state figure of 32.9%, and science is 12.5% versus 30.6% statewide — an 18.1 percentage-point gap and the largest subject-level shortfall. Performance also slips as students move up: ELA drops from 45.5% in 6th grade to 40.2% in 7th and 34% in 8th, while math falls from 26.3% to 23.9% to 17.4%. Eighth grade science sits at 12.5%, compared with 27.7% statewide. The school holds a 2-star rating and ranked 247th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 33rd percentile — though it reached the 43rd percentile the year before.
Two other figures matter for families. Chronic absenteeism is 40.4%, meaning roughly two in five students miss enough school to be flagged; that is above the district's 39.6% and the state's 33.5%. Per-student spending is $20,173, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.4:1, or roughly 23 teacher equivalents for the enrollment. A free/reduced-lunch percentage is not populated, so the school's economic context cannot be assessed from this extract. The district itself also scores below state averages in all-grade ELA, math, and science.
