Summary

Cheldelin Middle School is a public middle school located in Corvallis, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 535 students. The school is part of the Corvallis School District 509J, which is ranked 9 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cheldelin Middle School consistently ranks among the top 20-56 middle schools in Oregon, with a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly higher than the state averages, with 8th-grade ELA proficiency reaching 65.5% in 2024-2025 compared to the state's 41.6%. Cheldelin's performance is also stronger than the Corvallis School District average, particularly in 8th-grade ELA and 6th-grade Mathematics. The school excels in certain student subgroups, such as Asian students and Gifted and Talented students, who rank among the top in the state.

However, Cheldelin Middle School has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 25.7% in 2022-2023 to 34.3% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools, such as Linus Pauling Middle School, Cheldelin outperforms in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, but the chronic absenteeism rate is similar, suggesting a broader challenge within the Corvallis School District. Overall, Cheldelin Middle School is a high-performing middle school, but the rising chronic absenteeism rate is a concern that warrants further investigation and intervention.
