Summary:

The Medford School District 549C in Oregon is home to four middle schools: Hedrick Middle School, Oakdale Middle School, McLoughlin Middle School, and The Valley School of Southern Oregon. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the middle schools in the Medford School District, The Valley School of Southern Oregon stands out as a high-performing institution. The school has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, The Valley School of Southern Oregon had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels. Despite having a higher student-teacher ratio, the school spent significantly less per student than the other middle schools in the district.

In contrast, Oakdale Middle School and McLoughlin Middle School appear to be the lower-performing schools in the district, based on their statewide rankings and test score proficiency rates. Additionally, all four middle schools in the Medford School District had high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be an area of concern for the district to address.
