Summary

Timber Ridge School is a middle school in Albany, Oregon, serving 657 students in grades 3–8 as part of Greater Albany Public School District 8J. It ranks 94th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026 — the top quartile, with 4 stars — a steady climb from 206th of 384 and 2 stars in 2017–2018. It serves a high-poverty population, with 76.86% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up from 44.07% in 2022–2023.

Academically, Timber Ridge beats both its district and the state in all three tested subjects: 54.3% in English language arts (vs. 47.8% district and 43.8% state), 38.1% in math (vs. 32.1% and 32.9%), and 42.5% in science (vs. 31.7% and 30.6%). Science is a particular bright spot — 8th graders scored 43.2% versus 27.7% statewide. Among nearby schools, Timber Ridge trails North Albany Middle School in ELA by 7.9 points and math by 10.0 points but leads it in science, and it edges Cascade Junior High School in science while trailing in ELA. It clearly outperforms same-district Memorial Middle School and Calapooia Middle School by wide margins. The weakest spot is 6th grade math at 19.8%, below both district (25.1%) and state (29.7%). Because Timber Ridge serves grades 3–8 rather than 6–8, all-grade comparisons with nearby middle schools are worth reading with some caution.

The school is especially effective with groups often underserved elsewhere — 90th percentile for Hispanic students and 91st percentile for low-income students, both 5 stars, and 78th percentile for special education students. Chronic absenteeism was 33.3% in 2024–2025, close to the state average and better than the district, but higher than North Albany and Cascade and up from 28.2% the prior year. Notably, Timber Ridge reports $9,050 per student, roughly half of what most nearby schools spend, with a student-teacher ratio of 20.
