Summary:
Willamina School District 30J contains a single middle school: Willamina Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 186 students at 1100 Oaken Hills Dr in Willamina, Oregon. Because it is the only middle school in the district, there are no in-district peers to compare it against, and the district's grade 6–8 figures mirror the school's own results. The broader Willamina School District 30J sits near the bottom of Oregon's district rankings—134th of 141, in the 5th percentile, with 0 stars—while the middle school itself holds a 1-star rating in each of the three years shown.
English language arts is the school's relative strength. All-grades ELA proficiency is 35.3%, which is 5.5 percentage points above the district's all-grades rate and 8.5 points below the state. Seventh grade ELA is the best result at 41.5%, only 3.8 points under the state rate of 45.3%—the closest the school comes to state proficiency in any tested area. Math and science are much weaker. All-grades math proficiency is 17.6%, against 32.9% statewide, and 7th grade math (29.3%) is only 4.0 points below state, while 6th grade (10.9%) and 8th grade (15.0%) lag far behind. Eighth grade science is 7.5%, compared with 27.7% statewide.
Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern: 51.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, above the district's 47.0% and well above the state's 33.5%. There is positive momentum in the school's ranking, which moved from 325th of 371 in 2023–2024 to 286th of 371 in 2025–2026—a 39-position gain, rising from the 12th to the 23rd percentile—though it remains in the bottom quartile. Per-student spending is $24,422 for 2024–2025 with a student-teacher ratio of 16.4; the data provide no state or district comparison for these figures. The free/reduced lunch percentage is blank in the provided data and is therefore unknown, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed.
