Summary:
Silver Falls School District 4J has one middle school in this data set: Silverton Middle School, which serves grades 6–8, enrolls 425 students, and is located at 714 Schlador Street in Silverton, Oregon. Because it is the only middle school here, parents have a single profile to weigh, and it compares less favorably than the Silver Falls School District 4J district overall, which ranks 28th of 141 districts at the 80th percentile with 4 stars.
Silverton Middle School currently ranks 222nd of 371 schools, at the 40th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026 — down from 54th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 and 50th percentile with 2 stars in 2023–2024. In 2025–2026 results, the school trails both district and state in all three all-grade subjects: ELA 38.2%, math 26.6%, and science 23.5%. The widest gaps are in science, 17.0 points below the district and 7.1 points below the state. Grade by grade, the district outperforms the state in every subject, while the school does so only in 6th-grade ELA, where 47.3% of students are proficient — 5.5 points above the state and just 3.3 points below the district. Eighth grade is the clearest pressure point: ELA falls to 25.2% (16.3 points below the state), math to 21.2%, and science, tested only in 8th grade here, is 23.5%.
Chronic absenteeism is a relative bright spot at 29.7%, below the district's 30.1% and the state's 33.5%, though it still means roughly three in ten students are chronically absent. About 50.82% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $16,229, and the student-teacher ratio is 21.2:1. Overall, the school shows a mixed picture: attendance is relatively better than district and state averages and 6th-grade ELA is above the state, but current ranking, 8th-grade performance, and science proficiency are areas of concern.
