Summary

Highland Park Middle School is a public 6–8 school in Beaverton, Oregon, serving about 600 students in Beaverton School District 48J — the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools compared here. For 2025–2026 it ranks 123rd of 371 Oregon middle schools, at the 67th percentile with 3 stars. That places it above the state average in English language arts (48.0% versus 43.8%) and math (34.9% versus 32.9%), but below the district average in all three tested subjects. Science is the weakest area at 26.7%, below both the district and the state. Grade-level results show 7th grade as the clearest weak spot, with 7th-grade math at 30.2% — 13.7 points below the district and 3.1 points below the state — while 6th-grade ELA and math sit near district averages and well above state averages.

Attendance is a genuine strength. Chronic absenteeism was 24.7% in 2024–2025, below the district (28.7%) and the state (33.5%), and lower than most nearby schools; only Tumwater Middle School (19.5%) and West Sylvan Middle School (23.7%) were lower. Highland Park also spends heavily — $20,726 per student, more than every same-district nearby school — and has a comparatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.7. Yet that spending does not translate into top-tier results: Tumwater Middle School serves a nearly identical share of low-income students (50.75% versus 50.67%) but posts far higher proficiency, lower absenteeism, and much lower per-student spending. The closest overall peer is Whitford Middle School, which ranks slightly higher (70th percentile, 4 stars) with similar ELA and math scores and stronger science, though its absenteeism is higher.

How well the school serves specific student groups is uneven. It ranks above its overall 67th percentile for special education (70th), female (70th), multi-racial (69th), and White (71st) students, but below it for male (57th), low-income (35th), gifted and talented (30th), Hispanic (26th), and Asian (23rd) students. The sharpest concern is English language learners, who rank at the 0th percentile — 33rd of 33 schools, with 0 stars. Several groups have also trended downward in recent years, including male, low-income, gifted, Hispanic, and Asian students. Compared with nearby schools, Highland Park sits mid-pack: behind Tumwater Middle School and Whitford Middle School, roughly alongside Cedar Park Middle School and Conestoga Middle School, and ahead of Five Oaks Middle School, Meadow Park Middle School, and Mountain View Middle School. Its 2023–2024 result (76th percentile, 4 stars) was stronger than today's.
