Summary

South Meadows Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in Hillsboro School District 1J at 4960 SE Davis Road, Hillsboro, OR, serving 696 students in a mid-sized suburban area where 70.69% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25.

Academically, South Meadows is below its district and state in all tested subjects in 2025–26: 31.1% proficient in English language arts, 22.4% in math, and 13.5% in science, compared with district rates of 38.8%, 29.5%, and 25.5%. Its overall rank is 290th of 371 Oregon schools (22nd percentile, 1 star), well below Hillsboro School District 1J’s mid-range district profile. Among same-district Hillsboro middle schools, South Meadows Middle School has the lowest ELA, math, and science results, trailing Evergreen Middle School, J W Poynter Middle School, and R A Brown Middle School, even though it has the highest per-student spending ($19,041), the lowest student-teacher ratio (20.4), and the highest free/reduced lunch rate. Science is the clearest weakness, and 8th-grade results are weaker than 7th-grade results. Chronic absenteeism is 31.6%, close to the district’s 31.8% and state’s 33.5%, so attendance is not the main differentiator.

Compared with nearby Beaverton School District 48J schools, South Meadows performs in the same low range as Meadow Park Middle School and Mountain View Middle School but far below Stoller Middle School, Tumwater Middle School, Cedar Park Middle School, and Highland Park Middle School; the Beaverton schools shown serve a lower-poverty population. Within South Meadows, subgroup effectiveness is uneven, with especially low rankings for low-income, special education, and gifted students. The school has a long-term bottom-quartile pattern rather than a one-year dip, and its higher spending and slightly better staffing have not yet translated into higher proficiency in the available data.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, October 3, 2012

My son is new to this school. 2 weeks before school started I began communicating with the Administrative Staff to make sure his needs were met. My sons needs were addressed immediately, a meeting was planned and within days I was in the vice principals office. They hand picked the perfect teachers for my son. On Back to Schhool night I met all of his teachers and I couldn't be happier. My son is challenged and the school encourages learning the material. They are ok with him re-doing an assignment or going over his scores and trying to take a test again because they focus on him learning the material. They want to make certain he has the building blocks he needs to move forward and succeed. My son has no complaints of any violence, no bullying, no concerns for his well being, he's happy each day when he heads off to school. Close Quote
