Summary:
Wallowa Middle School is the only middle school in Wallowa School District 12, serving grades 6–8 with 53 students at 315 W 1st St. in Wallowa, OR 97885. Because it is the sole middle school in the area, there is no other local school to compare it against; its results are best read alongside district and state averages. The wider district is strong overall, ranked 16th of 141 in Oregon, placing it in the 89th percentile with 4 stars.
Academically, the school's profile is split. English language arts is close to the state in every middle grade: 42.1% in 6th grade versus 41.8% statewide, 45% in 7th versus 45.3%, and 41.7% in 8th versus 41.5%. All Grades ELA is 43.1%, within a point of the state's 43.8%. Math is the clearest concern. All Grades math proficiency is 15.7% against 32.9% statewide; 6th grade math is 10.5% versus 29.7%; and 8th grade math is under 5% versus 30%. Science is also below state, at 18.2% versus 30.6% overall and 18.2% versus 27.7% in 8th grade. The school's ranking has slipped from 83rd of 371 (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 229th of 371 (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026.
Chronic absenteeism is 33.3%, essentially the state rate of 33.5% but 7.1 percentage points above the district's 26.2%. Per-student spending is $17,304 with a student-teacher ratio of 26.5, and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, so socioeconomic context is limited. With only 53 students, grade-level percentages can swing on a few students, making multi-year trends and state comparisons more reliable than any single year's result.
