Summary

Culver Middle School is a public school serving grades 6–8 in the small central Oregon town of Culver, with 162 students, and it is part of Culver School District 4. For 2025–26 it ranks 196th of 371 Oregon middle schools — 47th percentile, two stars — placing it in the middle of the pack statewide.

Academically, the school has a split profile. English language arts is its clearest strength: 55.3% of students met proficiency, above the state's 43.8% and higher than nearby Obsidian Middle School (45.3%), Elton Gregory Middle School (40.0%), and Jefferson County Middle School (26.5%). Math is the opposite story: just 14.2% proficient, 18.7 points below the state and lower than all three nearby schools. The 41.1-point gap between ELA and math is far wider than the state's 10.9-point gap and wider than any nearby school's. Science sits in the middle at 22.0%, essentially tied with Obsidian, above Elton Gregory and Jefferson County, but below the state's 30.6%.

Other measures are more encouraging. Chronic absenteeism was 21.7% in 2024–25 — lower than every nearby school and 11.8 points below the state — and has dropped from 35.3% in 2021–22. The student–teacher ratio of 15.2 is the lowest among the compared schools, and per-student spending of $19,459 is higher than the Redmond middle schools (roughly $15,000) but below Jefferson County ($24,022). About 71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is high but lower than neighboring schools. In the state's school effectiveness rankings, the school's Hispanic and low-income student groups placed well above its overall standing. Overall rank has fluctuated, peaking at the 60th percentile in 2023–24 before settling near 47th in the two most recent years.
