Summary

Harrisburg Middle School is a small public school in Harrisburg, Oregon, serving 263 students in grades 5–8 as the middle school for Harrisburg School District 7J, a district ranked 124th of 141 Oregon districts in 2025–2026. About 73.38% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, up from 65.77% the prior year, per-student spending was $14,196, and the student–teacher ratio was 17.5. The school ranked 288th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026 (22nd percentile, 1 star) — a modest improvement over its 2022–2023 low of 10th percentile, but still below its best recent year (2014–2015, 41st percentile, 2 stars).

Academically, 2025–2026 OSAS proficiency fell below state averages in every subject: 29.5% in English language arts (state 43.8%), 19.6% in math (state 32.9%), and 22.0% in science (state 30.6%). Science is the relative bright spot — the only subject where the school beats its own district average (18.6%) and several nearby schools. Results vary widely by grade. The strongest relative performances are 7th-grade ELA at 40.0% and 5th-grade science at 26.8%. The most severe weaknesses are 8th-grade math at 10.2% (about 20 points below the state rate) and 6th-grade ELA at 15.4%, which is 26.4 points below state.

Compared with neighbors, Harrisburg spends far less per student — roughly $4,000 to $9,600 less than every nearby middle school — yet it matches or exceeds some higher-spending peers, including Hamlin Middle School ($21,058, with lower ELA and math) and Monroe Middle School ($21,062, with slightly lower ELA and math). The closest comparison is Oaklea Middle School, about 4 miles away, which also serves grades 5–8 with similar demographics but spends $18,204 per student within a higher-ranked district. Chronic absenteeism was 33.1% in 2024–2025 — better than the district (36.4%) and near the state (33.5%) — though up from 26.0% the year before. Notably, the school's effectiveness ranking for low-income students jumped to the 64th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026 from the 14th percentile a year earlier, the most positive current signal in the data.
