Summary

Baker Prairie Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in Canby, Oregon, serving 532 students as part of Canby School District 86. In 2025–2026 it ranked 233rd of 371 Oregon middle schools (37th percentile, 2 stars), essentially unchanged from the prior year but improved from 2023–2024, when it placed 283rd of 371 (24th percentile, 1 star). The district itself ranks higher — 64th of 141 districts (55th percentile, 3 stars) — so the school sits below its own district and below its 2014–2015 peak of 57th percentile.

Academically, 2025–2026 OSAS proficiency was 38.4% in English language arts (district 39.5%, state 43.8%), 23.6% in math (state 32.9%), and 27.9% in science (state 8th-grade average 27.7%). Math is the clear weak spot, more than 9 percentage points below state in 7th grade and about 6 points below in 8th grade. Science is a relative bright spot: the 8th-grade result edges the state average and beats several nearby schools, including Gardiner Middle School, Athey Creek Middle School, and Molalla River Middle School. Chronic absenteeism is high at 33.3%, roughly one in three students, versus 30.7% district and 33.5% statewide, and far above Lakeridge Middle School (17.2%) and Rosemont Ridge Middle School (18.1%).

Context matters here. The free/reduced-lunch rate rose from 32.85% in 2022–2023 to 62.97% in 2024–2025, much higher than most higher-performing neighbors. Per-student spending ($17,865) and a 17.5 student-teacher ratio are mid-pack, so resources alone don't explain the results. Subgroup performance is uneven: special education students rank at the 11th percentile and English language learner students at the 0th percentile in 2024–2025, while gifted and migrant students have ranked well in some years. Compared with neighbors, Baker Prairie outperforms only North Marion Middle School and Molalla River in overall rank and core test scores.
