Summary:
Central Point School District 6 in Oregon contains two middle schools — Scenic Middle School and Hanby Middle School — both serving grades 6–8 and together enrolling 1,149 students. Scenic is the larger campus with 774 students, about 2.1 times Hanby's 375. The district itself (Central Point School District 6) ranks 85th of 141 in Oregon, at the 40th percentile with 2 stars, placing it below the state median.
The two schools show different strengths despite nearly identical poverty rates (78.81% and 78.4% free/reduced lunch). Scenic is stronger in science and upper-grade English: its 8th-grade science score of 29.8% is above the district (27.5%) and state (27.7%), and its 8th-grade ELA score of 43.6% beats both district (41.7%) and state (41.5%). Hanby's clearest advantages are math and attendance — its all-grade math score of 28.3% tops Scenic's 26.4%, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% is 5.2 points lower than Scenic's 32.9%, 6.2 points below the district, and 5.8 points below the state. Science is the widest school-to-school gap at 7.2 percentage points, compared with 0.8 points in ELA and 1.9 points in math. Both schools fall short of the state in all-grade math (state: 32.9%), and Scenic's 6th-grade math score of 20.6% is the lowest grade-level result in the set, 9.1 points below state.
Hanby shows the steadier improvement: it rose from 257th of 371 schools in 2023–2024 to 197th of 371 in 2025–2026, a gain of 60 ranks and 16 percentile points. Scenic improved from 218th to 188th over the same span but peaked at 171st of 368 (54th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 before slipping back to 2 stars. The gap between the schools narrowed from 39 ranks to 9. Resource differences do not map simply onto results: Hanby spends $18,420 per student versus Scenic's $17,076 (about 7.9% more) and has a higher student-teacher ratio, 20.1 versus 18.7. These are associations, not proof of cause and effect.
