Summary
Hanby Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Gold Hill, Oregon, serving 375 students as part of Central Point School District 6 in Southern Oregon.
Hanby ranks 197th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026 (47th percentile, 2 stars), up from the 27th percentile (1 star) in 2022–2023 but below its 2014–2017 peak of 50th–59th percentile (3 stars). In 2025–2026 OSAS results, English language arts proficiency is 41.4%, close to the district’s 41.2% but below the state’s 43.8%. Math is 28.3%, above the district’s 26.1% but below the state’s 32.9%. Science is the clearest weakness at 22.6%, below both district and state, and lower than most nearby schools; only White Mountain Middle School (19.2%), Oakdale Middle School (15.0%), and McLoughlin Middle School (19.0%) were lower. Attendance is a strength: chronic absenteeism is 27.7%, better than the district (33.9%), state (33.5%), and nearly every nearby school except North (26.8%). Despite high poverty—78.4% free/reduced lunch—Hanby spends $18,420 per student with a 20.1 student-teacher ratio. Compared with same-district Scenic Middle School, Hanby is slightly lower overall (47th vs. 49th percentile) and trails in ELA and science, but has higher math (28.3% vs. 26.4%) and much better attendance (27.7% vs. 32.9%). North Middle School and South Middle School outperform Hanby academically, but Hanby’s attendance beats South’s and is close to North’s. White Mountain, with similar enrollment, has much lower ELA, math, and science proficiency and worse attendance.
Subgroup results show both strengths and gaps. Effectiveness rankings for low-income students and students experiencing homelessness are higher than the school’s overall percentile, while male students (33rd percentile) lag behind female students (58th), and special education students rank in the bottom fifth (20th percentile)—the most pronounced weakness. By grade, 6th-grade ELA is a bright spot, above district and state, while 7th- and 8th-grade ELA fall below both, and 8th-grade science is a pressure point. Overall, Hanby is a mid-ranked school that has improved but still faces challenges in science, upper-grade ELA, and special education outcomes.
