Middle Schools in Centennial School District 28J

The Centennial School District 28J in Oregon is home to two middle schools: Centennial Middle School and Oliver Middle. Both schools are performing significantly below the state averages in terms of test scores, school rankings, and overall performance, suggesting the district may need to focus on improving the quality of education at these middle schools.

Centennial Middle School ranked 260 out of 368 Oregon middle schools in 2024-2025 and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, while Oliver Middle ranked 354 out of 368 and is rated 0 out of 5 stars. Both schools had high chronic absenteeism rates of 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, well above the state average. Additionally, the proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science at these schools were below the Centennial School District 28J and Oregon state averages.

The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both Centennial Middle School (70.36%) and Oliver Middle (70.02%) indicate that the district serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, the district may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to improve student outcomes and provide a quality education for their students.
